This video of a footballer nutmegging an entire squad, even when they know it is coming, is utter joy.

A thread on our balls. 👇⚽

[Top Bins @TopBinsMagazine]

If a white player is called a genius on the pitch, since the age of 20, while a black player is a pace merchant relying on brute strength - who do you think will be favourably considered for a magerial role at the end of their career? The media’s word choice and tone matter.

[Top Bins @TopBinsMagazine]

This study shows how widely the ‘pace and power’ trope is used by the media when talking about black players https://t.co/oD52ypFeUZ

[Top Bins @TopBinsMagazine]

Importantly though, discourse from the media that black athletes are only capable due to their ‘god-given’ physical attributes is very damaging to players. Not least if black players are looking to go into coaching.
