Aún más triste que la muestra de blackface para reperesentar a una palenquera afrocolombiana, es el hecho de que hayan tantos colombianos defendiendo esta práctica y diciendo que "no es ofensiva" en su país, como si el movimiento negro colombiano no hubiese creado una petición para deshacerse del blackface en la televisión colombiana.
Es ofensiva, obviamente, para la gente negra colombiana y para una gran parte de la gente negra en el continente.
Angel Reese just made WNBA history, becoming the fastest player ever to reach 1,000 rebounds in only 79 games. She broke the record previously held by Tina Charles, one of the greatest rebounders this league has ever seen. Every single night she showed up and showed out. That is what excellence looks like. Congratulations, Angel. Keep going.

Karl smesko is soft. I’m sorry. very soft. Even Tyler marshmallow tried to fake the toughness. You want them to injure her before you show some emotions ?
ANGEL DESERVES BETTER.

When no major brand saw Haiti as an attractive investment, Saeta chose to believe in us. They supported our national teams for a decade when it wasn’t the obvious business decision.
Now, together, we’ve helped make history by bringing the first Colombian and small brand to the FIFA World Cup stage.
There’s a lesson in loyalty, vision, and believing in potential before the rest of the world sees it. Saeta is part of Haiti’s story now, and we’re grateful they were on our side.
Tras los JJOO de 1936 en la Alemania nazi, Jesse Owens, atleta negro que ganó cuatro oros, fue preguntado por su experiencia en Alemania.
Resulta que pudo alojarse en la Villa Olímpica y comer con el resto de atletas, en EEUU no.
Roosevelt se negó a recibirlo en la Casa Blanca y en un homenaje en NY en un lujoso hotel le prohibieron usar la puerta principal...
A partir de mañana vamos a ser testigos del arraigado y vigente racismo de un país que no ha mejorado mucho que digamos.
Mañana empieza el Mundial más racista de la historia.
"She should receive a hero's welcome because as a player and as a brand, she has been the ultimate game changer."
@chiney and @Andraya_Carter expect Angel Reese to be applauded by the fans in her return to Chicago 🙌
🚨🗣Steven Gerrard: "this fifa world cup in USA is becoming the worst tournament even before it get started! This is not how it is supposed to be, the weather in the US is terrible for players to play in, and we have news of the Somali referee Omar Artan who was appointed by FIFA denied entry, Iran saying FIFA has withdrawn fans World Cup ticket allocation, couple with funny security checks [Kevin Debruyne Belgium and Senegal players]
"I have to say it again this World Cup is starting to look like a mess, and the tournament hasn't even properly begun yet."
"Usually, before a World Cup, we're talking about the favourites, the star players, and the football. Instead, we're talking about travel problems, ticket controversies, and immigration issues."
"The Omar Artan situation is one of the most disappointing stories I've seen. FIFA selected him because they believed he was good enough to officiate at the World Cup, yet he was denied entry into the United States and will miss the tournament."
"Imagine working your whole life to become the first Somali referee at a World Cup and then being prevented from taking part for reasons completely unrelated to football."
"Then you have Iran's federation saying their allocation of World Cup tickets for supporters was withdrawn just days before the competition. Whether you agree with a government or not, supporters should not be the ones paying the price."
"I've also seen players and delegations complaining about the level of security checks and the delays involved. At some point, people stop feeling welcomed and start feeling like they're being treated as suspects."
"The weather is another concern. We're talking about matches being played in extreme summer conditions. The players are expected to perform at the highest level while dealing with heat that can completely change the rhythm of a game."
"A World Cup should be about bringing the world together. Instead, every day seems to bring another story that has nothing to do with football."
"The worrying thing is that these aren't isolated incidents anymore. When ticket disputes, entry restrictions, and organisational concerns keep appearing, people naturally begin questioning the tournament itself."
"I still hope the football saves the competition because the World Cup is bigger than any host nation. But right now, the headlines aren't making FIFA look good, and they certainly aren't making this look like the celebration of football it was supposed to be."
"We are honoured our Founder and Patron has been recognised in the @TIME 100 Sports list.
Thank you to TIME for shining a light on the work of the #InvictusGames Foundation and the extraordinary community behind it.
Sport has the power to change lives and, in some cases, to save them. Through the work of the Invictus Games Foundation, wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans rediscover purpose, rebuild confidence and regain a sense of identity.
What began as a belief in the power of sport has grown into a global movement, one that not only supports recovery, but creates community, belonging and hope. It proves every day that sport can restore meaning and, for some, be truly life‑saving.
We are proud of this recognition, but most importantly, we are proud of the Invictus Community, whose resilience and determination inspire everything we do.

The Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegation gets this treatment on arrival in the USA. Full tarmac searches, shoes off, bags turned inside out like criminals.
This is straight up humiliation and a disgrace. They’d never put white boys through the same.
🚨 WORST @FIFAcom PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME: INFANTINO SILENT AS US HUMILIATES AFRICA
Gianni Infantino selected Omar Abdulkadir Artan — Africa's top referee and first Somali at a World Cup — then watched US authorities deny him entry at the border despite diplomatic passport and approved visa. Turned back like trash. No reason. No fight.
Where is your voice, Infantino?
You preach "global football" and "unity" while selling out African officials to US border politics. This isn't leadership — it's cowardice and betrayal of the game.
You are proving every day why you are the worst FIFA president in history. Africa will not forget this disgrace.
Stand up or step down.
Many people boycotted the World Cup in Qatar.
But Qatar never blocked the entry of fans, reporters, players and REFEREES because they had the wrong skin colour.
This is the most appalling, RACIST World Cup and it should be boycotted by everybody.
The USA have blocked the Somali Referee Omar Artan from entering the USA, the Referee who is rated the best in Africa was blocked at entry, so he got the Somalian embassy to give him a Diplomatic Passport.
But the USA still refuses to let him in.
The USA need to be disqualified
A World Cup primarily held in the US is bad for many reasons but the worst might be having to deal with Americans' opinions on a sport they fundamentally do not understand
