“In a peaceful age I might have written ornate or merely descriptive books, and might have remained almost unaware of my political loyalties. As it is I have been forced into becoming a sort of pamphleteer”
Why I write, George Orwell.
@CanadaSoccerEN we are a nation of multiculturalism so on Sunday I want y’all to show that on the field against South Africa. Watch this video for extra motivation.
South Africa outplayed South Korea by every metric. It’s inconceivable to think this is the same Bafana Bafana that started their campaign without having any sense of direction. But agenda delayed is not Agenda denied. Today we had an unsuccessful hate watch.
Frederick Douglass explained that slave masters used sports as a means of “keeping down the spirit of insurrection.” It was a momentary distraction but they worked as “as conductors, or safety-valves, to carry off the rebellious spirit of enslaved humanity.” To a large degree, sports serves the same function for us today. Many of us invest a great deal of time, energy, and money into what is ultimately a form of entertainment which does very little to advance our liberation.
