The story of George Stinney
The youngest person ever sentenced to death. Only 14 years old, he was accused of killing two white girls. He was convicted and executed in the electric chair. Seventy years later, in 2014, he was finally proven innocent.
His last words were: “Johnny, I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it. Why would they kill me for something I didn’t do?” 💔
Under capitalism, it's normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare.
But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich, not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane.
Let me give you four numbers. 101. 24. 93. 100. The first is the points Kompany's Burnley accumulated winning the Championship in 2022/23. The second is the points they collected getting relegated from the Premier League the following season. The third is the goals Bayern scored under him winning the Bundesliga in 2024/25. The fourth is the Bundesliga goals Bayern have already scored in 2025/26, with six games still to play. One manager. Four numbers. One of the most unusual managerial careers in modern football.
101. Burnley won the Championship by ten points, scored 72 goals, and played football so attractive that Tottenham came calling that summer. Kompany turned them down. You know what happened next.
The 24 is where Komoany went to rockbottom.. The same manager with the same system and same philosophy but with different quality of opponent. The Premier League exposed every limitation in that Burnley squad and Kompany refused to adapt. He finished his second season as head coach in 19th place and with 24 points.
You won't believe that despite the relegation on his CV, Bayern Munich then paid £10.2 million in compensation to hire him.
93. In his first season, Bayern lost only twice all season and won the Bundesliga at a canter.
Then this season, Kompany added Luis Díaz to a forward line already containing Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Jamal Musiala. Kane leads Europe with 47 goals in all competitions from 39 appearances. Olise leads Europe for assists with 25. Díaz has contributed 22 goals and assists.
Bayern have already equalled the 2019/20 treble-winning side's Bundesliga goal tally and are one goal from the all-time single-season league record of 101, set in 1971/72, with six games remaining. They will break it. They also set the outright record for the most consecutive wins to start a European season, winning their first 16 competitive games.
The Premier League did not break him. It showed him exactly what his system needed to work and Bayern gave him that.
He used that to beat Real Madrid 2-1 in the first leg of the UCL Quarterfinal today.
So I ask- ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
