The beautiful game. The people’s game. Throughout this World Cup, we have been reminded of a simple truth: football belongs to everyone. So does the joy and community it creates. Yesterday, I joined New Yorkers on Rikers Island to watch England take on Argentina.

sammiejoeI don’t want to speak for anyone’s beliefs but I do love that he did this in the latter half of Muharram, when the Shia Muslim community commemorates and mourns the family of the Prophet Muhammad who were taken prisoner by the tyrant govt after the tragedy of Karbala on Ashura.
The most important thing is you were able to criticize someone doing something extremely awesome while also ignoring the meanings of words. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/d...
My catholic school here in Brazil had every year the Campaign of Fraternity. When I was 9, the theme was "The incarcerated", and we learned about prison conditions, racism in arrests and that jail should be a chance to ressocialize, not just punish. That impacted me a lot in my worldview to this day
I know I’m not alone in wanting people who upon leaving jail/prison are able to get jobs, earn a living wage, pay for adequate housing and overall become productive, independent, law abiding residents/citizens. Better for them, our communities & our families. That effort starts during incarceration.
