🚨📱| Gary Lineker’s Emotional Message to Lionel Messi
🗣️: “Forget football for a moment.
Imagine walking onto a World Cup pitch knowing your father is seriously ill. Imagine carrying that fear in your heart while millions watch you, judge you, abuse you, and even send you death threats.
Lionel Messi still played. He still carried Argentina. He still gave everything.
And now, after all of that, he has lost his father.
People will remember the goals, the trophies and the performances. But behind all of it was a son worrying about his dad while trying to do his job on the biggest stage in football.
That puts everything into perspective.
No football rivalry, no argument, no player debate is bigger than this.
My deepest condolences to Lionel Messi and the entire Messi family. May Jorge Messi rest in peace. 🕊️❤️
Be kind. You never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.”
The WNBA headlines really went from “Caitlin vs Angel Reese” to “Will a dildo be thrown on the court tonight” to “Should trannies be allowed to play” 😭🤦🏽♂️
After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.
If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.
I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.
See you at training camp.
