The hate Zach LaVine gets from Bulls fans is dumb as hell. He came in as a kid that never asked to be traded there. He wasnt even the fruit of the trade; it was the pick which was Lauri. The FO failed to secure talent and forced Zach to be the star with lackluster rosters and he became a two time all star during that time.
Zach LaVine is at the top of numerous records, never once complained, never asked for a trade, and despite fans giving him shit on social media he ALWAYS took the high road.
Zach LaVine hate is misdirected. The Reinsdorfs will always be Chicago's biggest problem.
We're not crying, you're crying 🥹🇦🇺 Socceroos winger Awer Mabil just dropped the most special message at the World Cup.
After the squad made a viral video about where they come from, the winger - who was born in a Kenyan refugee camp - explains what makes Australia 'the best country in the world': 'Many different backgrounds. One jersey.'
This is what the Socceroos are all about.
In Refugee Week, these are beautiful words from a special footballer and person.
Aussies can not be real dawg
Dominates Rugby, Cricket, Olympics, UFC and now this. All this coming from a country where population is less than 30 Million
For most of us, we can’t even imagine what Nestory’s journey has been like.
As with all refugees.
Displaced, homeless, full of hope but in desperate need of safety. A chance. An opportunity at life.
With a dream and a ball, making a new life, in a country with a proud history of welcoming refugees, but facing its own forces of opposition today.
Nestory didn’t just shoot the ball into the Turkish net, he struck a lightning bolt to the conscience of millions of Australians.
How can we cheer one brilliant, skilled, explosive and confident young kid representing us, and we him, and simultaneously portray refugees or new arrivals as less worthy?
It also should raise the question of how refugees come to be? Everyone wants to live a safe life at home, with kin, generations of family, not having to ask for a chance..
But conflict, it’s funding, the breakdown in international law, the weapons industry needing to be fed, exploitation of resources, religious tribalism and extremism, all create the more than a hundred million people who have fled their home.
It is these drivers we must stop, and these causes we must never support nor participate in.
Football brings everyone together and shows us what we share.
Now, we share a love of a young Aussie kid who overcame every barrier put in his way, to reach the pinnacle of world sport.
And that is needed more than ever.
