They’ll Cheer the Player & Oppress the People
They’ll Cheer the Player & Oppress the People Senegal was under French colonial rule until 1960. That’s your grandparents’ generation.
So when France steps on that World Cup field with a roster full of Black and African players — ask yourself — who are you really rooting for?
They stole the land. They stole the labor. Now they’re claiming the talent too — and calling it a French victory.
And before you say “that’s just soccer” — look at American football. Look at the NBA. Racists who vote *against* Black communities every election will lose their minds cheering for Black athletes every weekend.
They want the talent. They’ve never wanted the humanity.
That’s not new. That’s just colonization in a jersey.
