    I pray you’ll always be No. 2 🙌🏾

    When I was a kid, it used to bother me when people said “you’re not as good as your Dad”… He turns 70 in December and after playing pickup with him tonight, I’m proud to say I’m still not as good and neither is anyone else! 🤣🙌🏼

    I might low key root for the this season. They’ve overcome so much already (injuries) and it’s clear that they’re a tight group. They celebrate everything. Love to see it. (Oh, is good, too.)

    As my 16 y/o deals w/ having been called the N word in a HS⚽️match, I am reminded of ⁦ex ⁩ ⁦⁩ Coach Lincoln Phillips’ words to his players in the 70s when they were often racially taunted/abused (fr. the ⁦⁦⁩ film “Redemption Song”).

    After being called the N word during a⚽️match, my son took immediate action & told the ref. We tell our sons that if this happens, they have options in that moment, beginning w/ harnessing their power & walking off the field, as a team—action that publicly shames the perpetrator.

    my 16 y/o son was called the N word last night in a HS⚽️match. Surprising? No. Sad — in today’s climate? Yes. I don’t care to change these ppl; but I do advocate for stiff, stiff consequences. Consequences that hurt change behavior - if not hearts.

    I count myself among the privileged who knew Peter Keiller, who was a scholar of life w/ a passion for education & a❤️for “the beautiful game.” Nobody knew ’s soccer history better & he took great pride in sharing it. Rest In Peace, Prof. Keiller. Rest easy
