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. ♥️👍🏿 https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/112193399199658857

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io Also: Added "Braut"—his mother's surname—to his jersey to honor her side of the family. Haaland has been one of the bright spots in the otherwise racist, corrupt, and quite frankly somewhat depressing enterprise known as the World Cup.

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io > * Is self-deprecating about his pale skin, and how much sunscreen he has to wear. This is basically the right mindset. We are extra susceptible to folate loss; it's a dermal disability. So it's healthy to acknowledge & accommodate for that!

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io Is there an accepted migration path for an overheated Brit to apply to live there? Sounds like an amazing place to live. And I can handle the cold when it happens - just give me a double-thick duvet 😂
