Reports say he had been ticcing all through the night. At multiple people, not just Jordan and Lindo. At his team and at others. Misogynistic slurs, racist slurs, other slurs. The nature of the disorder is that your brain forces you to blurt out things it has registered as taboos in given social contexts. Involuntarily.
If an apology is to be insisted upon, then he shouldn’t just apologise to Jordan and Lindo; he should apologise to every single person he ticced at that night, whether theirs was televised or not. To ask him to specifically apologise to Jordan and Lindo is to say that he is to apologise for theirs being publicised or amplified, not for the utterance itself. But is it his fault that his tics were televised? Or is it the fault of the media platform that chose to air it, especially without giving appropriate medical context?
If he ticced at five people that night, he would need to apologise to five people. If he ticced at twenty, apologise to twenty. Fifty? Eighty? Hundred? How many people can he realistically apologise to for something completely out of his control? How long is he going to spend his life apologising?
At what point does it move from apologising for harm to apologising for having a disability?
5 DAYS TO GO.
The last 347 days running through africa have no doubt been the toughest of my life, but such an immense honour.
We have met incredible people in every single country we've been to that have welcomed us with love & kindness. The human spirit is a beautiful thing.
Very grateful for these experiences and would definitely encourage anyone out there to go get after that adventure, whatever it looks like for you.
Thank you to the people of Africa for being such an amazing part of this journey🫡

@PoorEPLreferees Only one line shown means the attacker is ahead of the defensive line but within the margin to still be called onside (lines overlap).
Only doubts you can have is where the lines are drawn from but they don’t show that this season.
Recently there have been a number of high profile football matches stopped due to medical emergencies in the crowd. Is it happening more often, is there a conspiracy. Time for a thread..... 🧵
“Absolute mirror image”
Brownhill’s is a yellow card challenge that isn’t penalised with a yellow (wrongly) because it’s in the first minute.
Strujik was nearly a foot off the ground hence the red, which is high enough to land on Elliott’s ankle whereas brownhill’s wasn’t
Who let my old man in front of the camera!? 😂 10 years at this football club has made me who I am today but I’d be nothing without the love and support of my family. #YNWA ❤️
