s/o to his mom for standing up for him. i see a lot of ppl seeing the kid being 'scouted' as something to celebrate but i would wish for this kid to just be able to play in a regular ass kids league with other Black kids & enjoy himself, instead of being put on a professional track at 3 years old!

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

professional sports truly rob children of their childhood, but because we are all propagandized to idolize professional sport, we ignore the impact it has on the kids. let kids be kids and enjoy sports as a fun activity whether they are great at it or not.

"uniting the Diaspora thru fighting one man" yes! on behalf of the Somalis in the south i'll bring 'dalacbalaash, kili & canjeero' and maybe even some bariis Somaali & hilib ari, if we end up doing overtime. lets gooooo
