I've watched Olivier Giroud, Yaya Sanogo, Chu-Young Park, and Ryo Miyaichi play for Arsenal and I still supported them. Some of them had clear limitations, yet they played in Arsenal teams that created chances and scored goals for fun.
So why would I suddenly stop backing Victor Gyokeres because his hold-up play isn't perfect or his first touch isn't always the best? The guy can still score goals, and if he can give us 10+ goals a season while improving with the team, I'll take that.
We've supported players with much bigger flaws before, so you think a striker who knows how to find the back of the net is where I draw the line?
A defenders hand being on the line of scrimmage shouldn't be offsides.
An offensive linemen twitching his thigh shouldn't be a false start.
A player with his toe on the line should be a 3.
A baseball being half an inch in foul territory should be fair.
See? It's dumb.
🚨 San Jose police shot college football player K’aun Green 4 times then the officer sent racist texts calling him the N-word and saying “I hate black people.”
This is the bodycam/surveillance footage from the night Green was shot at La Victoria Taqueria in March 2022.
Green had just disarmed a gunman during a brawl. He was holding the weapon pointed up when Officer Mark McNamara shot him multiple times. Police later admitted Green had nothing to do with any homicide.
McNamara was later exposed in a racist texting scandal. While the case was ongoing, he sent messages referring to Green as “this N-Word,” calling his lawyer a “nigs lawyer,”.
San Jose City Council approved an $8 million settlement the third-largest police payout in city history. No apology. No real accountability.
Another young Black man shot by police. Another officer with racist messages about the victim in his phone.
How many more families have to fight for years while officers hide behind badges and send messages like this?
THIS HAS TO STOP!!!!!!!!!!
