A lot of talk over whether he made the "right decision" by going on air. There's no wrong or right way to deal with sudden grief, but what is for sure is he dealt with it bravely. If we have anything to be proud of today it should be @MicahRichards 💪🏿
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Micah Richards learned that his father, Lincoln, had unexpectedly passed away shortly before going live on the BBC for England vs Argentina.
Richards still completed the broadcast, saying his father would have wanted “the show to go on”.
“He was my greatest fan. He barely missed a game my entire life.
He would take me wherever I needed to go as a kid, and he was the proudest parent possible during my professional career.
Dad would’ve wanted the show to go on this evening. And so it did.
My father Lincoln, my hero and inspiration.”
@newstarboy07@LFCApproved I think you're neglecting the fact he was on the other side of an ocean and already had tickets to fly back to the UK last night or this morning to shoot with Gary+Alan - not everyone would feel better wallowing for the night and then having the only memory of the night be sour
@achillesheels_ So in your opinion someone who was plastered over tabloids, likely fined by Manchester United and warned by the FA needs to be punished all over again a decade later by being denied work for a company he didn't work for at the time? Sounds excessive for a fling 🤣
@achillesheels_ You can be disgusted but it's a bit weird to be bringing this up what ten years later as if if he's not far more qualified by virtue of being Wayne Rooney than he is disqualified for liking a old bit on the side
@DavidGr99649083@kendallrowanx I kinda agree. Qatar felt like it was dawn till dusk football, I'd literally spend my entire shift watching game after game.
@Mik3z_@TfL The 'reason' is all the profit from our "public transport" is siphoned out in the form of dividends paid to foreign state owned transport companies that deliver Europeans far cheaper and more comfortable travel subsidised by London's commuter class dependency on TFL.
@itstoke I'm not letting shit you say get me down, chiefly because I am very much unfashionable and frankly would anxious from the sort of attention - so none of it applies directly to me. I was speaking to the wider impact these sorts of "who cares" takes have on collective conciousness
Black men can't be happy doing the things they enjoy without a minority sub-section of Black women alienating them or paint them in some 'less than' manner.
This is why we have acculturated criminality, disproportionate mental health issues, and a lack of social cohesion.
@alexmcole_ Who's doing London to Glasgow standing so that someone who didn't pay the extra can enjoy the comfort of the seat that you paid for - especially when we pay significantly more per mile than anywhere else in the world. If you ain't reserved the seat, I'll ask you to move.
@myles_premium_ You see how the whites had energy for the grooming gangs, the black community needs to have the same energy for @CrimeLdn@ianmiles and all of these accounts that seek to perpetually criminalise black youth in the eyes of the global community. Demand inquires, we deserve better!
Couldn't agree more. Any American who thinks charging kids to play can work alongside basketball, baseball, American Football and/or Hockey programs already draining the working+middle class player base is insane.
