A los argentinos cuando Maradona metió un gol con la mano no les pareció sospechoso. Cuando los argentinos le dieron agua con somníferos a Brasil no les pareció raro. Cuando su dictadura robó el mundial de 1978 todo estaba bien. Los 5 penaltis en 7 partidos de Qatar tampoco les pareció sospechoso. No les pareció sospechoso robarle a Egipto o a Suiza. Pero perder una final en la que tiraron 0 veces en 120 minutos les esta pareciendo un robo y todo muy conspiranoico. Te tienes que reír 😆
Es la tarjeta roja más clara de lo que llevamos del Mundial y el árbitro no le sacó ni amarilla a Tagliafico.
Y todavía protestan en Argentina porque no robaron lo suficiente.
The moment Lionel Messi begged the referee to send Cucurella off will be remembered as the night his carefully protected image finally collapsed.
Once celebrated as one of football’s greatest ever players, he walked away looking like the game’s biggest crybaby, desperate for the referee to rescue him when his football couldn’t.
A truly miserable ending to a legendary career.
One of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen from a supposed sportsman. Messi’s fake halo shattered in this World Cup; he was the sneaky cheating leader of a vile bunch of violent thugs.
In “Apocalypto,” Mel Gibson transports you into the mind of a Mayan 500 years ago. In “The Northman,” Robert Eggers transports you into the mind of a Viking a thousand years ago. In “The Odyssey,” Christopher Nolan transports you into the mind of a liberal woman in 2017.
I was “black” when I read The Odyssey in high school...
...but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me.
Why?
Because they were GREEK characters.
I didn’t need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.
I didn’t need Helen of Troy to look like me to understand her importance.
They were Greek characters from a specific culture, with a specific history.
And this is what Hollywood keeps getting wrong.
We don’t identify with characters because they look like us.
We connect with them because we recognize something human in them - their struggles, their courage, their flaws, their values.
Odysseus is a GREEK hero.
Helen of Troy is a GREEK woman.
Their identities are part of what makes their stories meaningful.
Casting Colombians and Africans and Indians as Greek ISN'T "representation."
It’s just insulting.
Stop it.
