Lifelong Argentina fan because of Messi but 2022 showed me a side of that country and that team I can’t ignore. The racism that surfaced was dehumanizing in a way I wasn’t prepared for 😅
A lot of artists are overstaying their welcome now and stretching their 15 minutes so it's confusing when a good old fashioned flash in the pan happens. Nobody's thinking this hard about what happened to Flo Rida
