Mourinho, Pogba, And The Myth Of Respect In Soccer - Howler Magazine ⚽️⚫️⚪️

“Respect for a sport is a nebulous concept and almost always demanded from young, successful, Black players. They enjoy themselves too much, their celebrations are too raucous, they go out too often and spend their money too extravagantly…. There is an incredible sense of entitlement in demanding Black players fundamentally change everything about themselves, then change all over again, in the name of ‘respect’, though that respect never seems to be extended to them.”
