@daveatherton That's how normal immigration works.
You move to a country and assimilate into the culture you chose to move to instead of demanding they bow to the culture you moved away from.

Ryan Reynolds is one of the greatest storytellers of our generation, and he found the perfect canvas: Sports.

Let me explain...

Ryan Reynolds and fellow actor Rob McElhenney purchased Wrexham AFC for $2.5 million.

Wrexham was in the 5th division of the English football pyramid and had almost no chance of getting promoted to the Premier League.

But Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney didn't care.

They immediately launched "Welcome to Wrexham," a documentary-style TV show on FX modeled after Netflix's F1 series Drive to Survive.

And it was a huge success.

Wrexham made more money off *one season* of that show (~$3.2 million) than the total valuation it was purchased for just months earlier ($2.5 million).

Streaming Financials (*estimates)
~$400k per hour of content
x 8-part series
= ~$3.2m in revenue

And the results were even more significant on the backend.

Wrexham has since been promoted, and their social media accounts have EXPLODED in popularity.

Twitter: 45,000 to 532,000
Instagram: 27,000 to 975,000
TikTok: 0 to 1,400,000

And Wrexham has turned this increased attention into tangible revenue.

Wrexham has signed kit sponsorship deals with several companies:

• TikTok
• Expedia
• Vistaprint
• Aviation American Gin
• United Airlines

And the number of season ticket holders has tripled:

2019: 2,609
2021: 5,892
2022: 6,820

So the local community is also buying in.

And with Wrexham AFC's valuation dramatically increasing simply through the power of community, storytelling, and marketing, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhennery are doubling down on sports.

The two actors have teamed up with Otro Capital, RedBird Capital, Michael B. Jordan, and others to buy a 24% stake in the Alpine Formula 1 team.

Alpine F1 Deal Overview
• 24% stake purchased
• $218 million invested

The deal values Alpine's F1 team at $900 million.

But more importantly...

It provides Ryan Reynolds and his co-investors a unique opportunity to increase enterprise value by driving meaningful revenue to the Alpine Formula 1 team.

And some star power certainly won't hurt, either.

The fearless young hero who stopped a suicide bomber from entering his school and saved hundreds of lives, 2014

On January 6th, 2014, 15-year-old Aitzaz Hasan looked death right in its eyes and challenged it. The young man was attending his high school in Hangu Village in Pakistan, which had a reputation for anti-terrorist attitudes. The school had an estimated student body of 2,000 students.

As he was walking to school with two friends, Hasan noticed a suspicious man walking towards the school, who seemed like he was carrying something under his clothes. Hasan and his friends then noticed there was a detonator attached to under the man's clothing. This mysterious man was a suicide bomber who was about to walk into the school to murder as many children as possible. Hasan made his way towards the terrorist while ignoring his friend's pleas not to. Hasan said to them "I'm going to stop him, he is going to school to kill my friends". Hasan's friends ran inside the school to raise the alarm. Hasan, however, stood his ground. He threw a rock at his attacker but missed. With no other options, Hasan charged the terrorist and tackled him to the ground. In response, the terrorist activated the detonator, killing himself as well as Hasan.

Hasan was the only death as a result of the blast. His heroic actions saved many lives that day. His school was renamed Aitzaz Hasan Shaheed High School. General of the army staff Raheel Sharif said that Aitzaz Hasan is "a national hero, who has sacrificed his today for our tomorrow." He is also described as a "symbol of resistance against terrorism." He has also been named as a martyr of Pakistan. He also received an award for his bravery.

Hasan's family was given compensation. His father said, "My son made his mother cry but saved hundreds of mothers from crying for their children." The 2016 film, Salute, is based on Hasan and his heroic actions.

@LibertyCappy Murdered*

[🥀_ Imposter_🥀 @Imposter_Edits]

11-year-old Aderrien Murry from Mississippi called the police because his momma was having an argument with his father, he called the police to come to help his momma. Instead, police came in and shot him, they shot the 11-year-old child.

[🥀_ Imposter_🥀 @Imposter_Edits]

Indianola Police Department needs to quit hiding the bodycam footage and hold officer Greg Capers accountable for nearly taking a child's life. An 11-year-old boy should be able to call for help without being the one who ends up nearly dying.

In 1918, a soldier from the Harlem Hellfighters, also known as the 369th Infantry Regiment, strikes a pose with a puppy he rescued during World War 1.

Comprised of courageous Black soldiers, this regiment fought alongside the French army due to racial segregation in the US military. Remarkably, the French welcomed them without prejudice, treating them as equals.

Throughout the war, the Harlem Hellfighters displayed their valor on the front lines, enduring 191 days of combat—the longest duration for any American unit. Sadly, they also suffered the highest casualty count, with approximately 1,500 lives lost.

Nevertheless, they never relinquished a trench or an inch of ground to the enemy, and no member became a prisoner of war. The Harlem Hellfighters not only achieved extraordinary success as a regiment, but they also contributed to introducing Jazz to France.

Renowned for their ferocity and fearlessness, the Germans bestowed upon them the nickname "hell fighters." Their significance extended beyond bravery, as they became the first Allied force to reach the Rhine River, playing a crucial role in the overall Allied effort. Upon their return home, the Harlem Hellfighters were finally granted a welcome parade in New York City—a privilege previously denied to them. However, their joyous celebration was short-lived, as the summer of 1919, known as the Red Summer, unleashed some of the worst racial violence in the country since the Civil War.

The Harlem Hellfighters, who had harbored dreams of returning to a transformed homeland that would treat them with respect and equality, were bitterly disappointed. They quickly discovered that nothing had changed at all. The pervasive racial discrimination persisted, shattering their hopes for a brighter future.
