Big shout out to Maya, the @AmericanAir flight attendant who changed my seat on AA2604 to ORD 2day. Lil dude in 15E was manspreading/had his arm in my space. Asked him to stop, and he planted elbow in my side. Thisclose to cracking my code. Almost caught a case at 35,000 feet.
Former President Obama: “I believe in Nelson Mandela’s vision. I believe in a vision shared by Gandhi and King and Abraham Lincoln. I believe in a vision... built on the premise that all people are created equal and they’re endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights."
Sixteen of the 23 players on France’s team come from families that recently immigrated to the country, most of them from Africa. Seven players are Muslim. A testament to how immigrants enrich a country’s culture.
France just won the #WorldCup, but so did Cameroon, Angola, Nigeria, the DRC, Mali, and Guinea and Senegal.
The Cup may have never before belonged to so much of the world.
Today’s @ATLUTD record crowd is another great statement about the growth of the beautiful game in the U.S. & Canada. Looking forward to MLS All-Star Week in Atlanta later this month & the MLS All-Star Game presented by @Target on Aug. 1!
France, with 12 of its 23 players having African ancestry, is what some are calling the #WorldCup’s last-standing "African" team.
