Soccer can unite people across the world — but also bring out the worst in them.
"The World Cup is a global stage for Black excellence that has led to unforgettable moments, like Cape Verde’s goalkeeper Vozinha becoming a national hero and France’s Kylian Mbappé dominance.
For Black fans, watching Black players win can feel like their own victory. “It’s like a very long-distance family reunion,” said Greg Jackson, an Atlanta-based co-host of “For The Culture UTD” podcast, about watching games with fans across the Black diaspora. “Being able to see that all up close. This feels like this is a part of me.”
During matches, players scoring goals can unite people under one identity –– but it can also bring out the worst in humans, particularly toward Black players and fans.
After the Argentina vs. Cape Verde match, FIFA, soccer’s global governing body, said it was investigating an incident in which racist abuse appeared to be shouted at Black U.S. YouTuber Darren Jason Watkins Jr., better known by his handle “IShowSpeed,” by a supporter in the stands. In a separate incident, Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla posted a since-deleted racist screed against France’s Kylian Mbappé. Mbappé later condemned her as a “despicable woman” that is “unworthy” of her position.
Kyle Carr, a Wisconsin-based soccer fan, said he expects what happened to IShowSpeed to happen to other Black fans in the stands too. “It’s just really upsetting that he faces that in the biggest stage,” he said.
To share the range of experiences, HuffPost asked a variety of Black fans to share the unique joys and frustrations with being a Black soccer fan during this year’s World Cup."

It's been rough, even from the outside, but there's been a lot of joy, too! I been rooting for everybody Black, and I will continue to do so 🩷
This the report that JK Rowing doesn't want you to see. This report scares her so much that she is trying to destroy Amnesty International, a human rights organization, to stop you reading it:
Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their fundin
(Amnesty already pulled the report because of JKR's threats. Of course that didn't and won't stop her - capitulating to fascists and bigots is never the answer. Alejandra captured the report and posted it, so you can read what JKR doesn't want you to know.)
sub this dom that. what if they are both completely chained to their devotion to each other. they’re rendered powerless by it. nobody is driving the bus.
thinking about when my brother got chatbanned from overwatch and the email they sent him after he tried to appeal it said “we dont normally bring up the incriminating messages, but in this case we feel its necessary to show you what got you banned” and it was all shit like “ i will kidnap you in the desert and make you forget how to eat”
