🗣️ You could have a bad game but not be a bad referee. Players, have bad games. Coaches, have bad games. People, have bad days. It doesn’t make them bad players, coaches, refs or people. No one wants a bad day. If everyone was dismissed based on a bad day, no one has a chance.
This is the face of a man who climbed the ladder of affirmative action to his present perch of power only to help destroy the very ladder on which he ascended. This is not only the mark of deep ingratitude & disavowal of history, but a withering betrayal of justice & democracy.
🗣️ Marcus Rashford's mother: “I used to say to the kids sometimes that I’d already eaten because they used to say to me: ‘Have you had yours?’ and I’d say: ‘Yeah’ but I didn’t have anything to eat.
I was just doing my best to survive. Now Marcus has provided me a home and I sit in my room sometimes and just cry. You’re thinking about where you’ve come from to where you are now.”
