#ballon d'or award

[didalexiabreakupwitholgaisback]

the star of the show is Jenni. i cannot begin to fathom the continued bravery and strain it takes to undergo what is currently happening. to stand in a room of footballing execs, many of whom we know do not side with her in any of this and give the speech she gave.

i hope she is immensely proud of herself and knows the difference she’ll be making by being brave enough to fight back

100% agreed with your take, anon! and her speech was quite powerful.

yes! translation under the cut:

"today i woke up remembering the words of a girl who told me a few days ago I dream of being a football player like you and in a moment as important as this the memory of her voice inspires me and encourages me to continue.

that girl deserves a women's football free of prejudice, free of gender violence, that is why for all women that i will continue to be brave, that i will not stop adapting my voice or fight, relying on my family, my people and all those people who have the convention to make the sport of the world a better place.

as football players and role models in society we are in a unique position to use sport to bring about change and i ask each and every one of you to please inspire both on and off the field and together we will achieve something beautiful that i felt proud of.

that is the dream that in the future we will be able to have the football that this girl and all of you deserve, so this goes for each and every one of you, so thank you very much."

Cannot believe I was so busy that I missed the Ballon d'Or (it should be in December or January! I'm still not used to this change), and I regret it because I missed seeing the hilarious clownery from Real Madrid refusing to attend because they were caught being stupid and then threw a fit that they weren't getting their way and Lamine got the youth award (after Pedri and Gavi! My starboys<3), Barça Femení won best women's team, Aitana won the Ballon d'Or Féminin, three Barça women were nominees (like Xavi, Iniesta, and Leo were for the 2010 edition<3), Rodri won (JUSTICE FOR MIDFIELDERS ESPECIALLY SPANISH MIDFIELDERS. I love Leo, but....2010's should've been Xavi or Iniesta's), etc. Barça supremacy. Spain did a SWEEP. WOW.

their agenda is so transparent that we shouldn't give these types of people any credence (and l chat is the worst cesspit for these cretins).

anyway, this isn't about comparing and saying one type of humanitarian work is better than the other, but rather to recognise the multiple different ways to help humankind! 🙏
