i think we need to acknowledge and talk about when our favorite athletes are shitty people.
being a person of color in a white dominated fan space really feels like an echo chamber sometimes. your favorite athletes are real people that can have some really shitty opinions sometimes.
in my opinion. it doesn’t do anybody any good to pull the covers over your eyes and pretend it isn’t happening simply because it makes YOU uncomfortable. your friends and people you care about are real life effected by this shit. i’m sorry the thought of your fav being a bad person makes you uncomfortable but the idea of NOT talking about it makes me uncomfortable👍 i cannot just close my eyes and pretend it isn’t happening. i live with it everyday!
idk im tired of people trying to just ignore very real and important things just to maintain the idea they have of an athlete in their head. it’s tired!
