I will never forget Tim Cahill trying to tell the world what was happening at Arsenal while people tried to shout over him. He saw it coming before most, you have to respect it. 🫡
Black footballers with confidence & bravado spark deep insecurity & hate. An outgoing, jovial character like Paul Pogba is unacceptable, the kind of personality we want is N'Golo Kante. Yet football history is littered with huge characters we adore.
The genius of Zlatan Ibrahimović, the supreme brilliance of Diego Maradona, the iconic Eric Cantona, the rockstar that was George Best, the volatility of Paul Gascoigne, the perfectionism of Cristiano Ronaldo, but that standard isn't kept across the board.
What has happened to Vinicius Jr has me incredibly deflated, defeated - & I understand I say this as a white male. The lack of empathy displayed yet again demonstrates an unconscious privilege that many enjoy thanks due to no lived suffering & discrimination.
If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States…
The United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
@gentsdeal Yeah, seems to be a v.entertaining fixture every season, Spurs especially play their own (rubbish!) game. Can you tell I'm an Arsenal fan, haha!?!
IOC's Mark Adams was asked again about women's boxing controversy. “I repeat that all the competitors comply with the eligibility rules. But what I would say is that this involves real people. And, by the way, this is not a transgender issue. I should make this absolutely clear."
