I frequently point out when superstar white athletes refuse to be turned into a mascot for racists. Eg Paige Bueckers. Hailey Van Lith.
Haaland would make *more* money and have more fans if he simply kept quiet and remained ambiguous on the issue and "didn't get into talking about politics," and used his silence to let racists use him as a totem.
Instead he makes an active choice to reject racist fans.

So I regret to inform the anti-Black racists, the woman hating sexists, and other assorted weirdos, that Erling Haaland, is with us. That's our flying goal viking, not yours. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/ENqgJI29HYE

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io to be neutral to condone racism. We have to be anti-racist. anti-sexist. anti-fascist.

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io This is one of my favorite Paige Bueckers stories. Heck, one of my favorite UConn basketball stories. https://www.si.com/onsi/womens-fastbreak/news/uconn-fans-commend-paige-bueckers-about-religious-breakfast-assist-for-teammate-01jq4kspy5ys
