Soccer purists online are losing their minds. Outraged that Canadians would dare play a match in the snow. Outraged that the “purity” of football was violated by weather.
Spare me. Canadians have played soccer in ideal conditions for decades and almost nobody cared. Because here, soccer has to compete with hockey, Canadian football, and lacrosse. Sports built on grit.
So when people see players flopping around like fragile ornaments, that doesn’t sell the game. And I refuse to believe that flopping in perfect sunshine is somehow more “pure” than battling a blizzard.
The CPL Final changed that. A full blizzard. Zero visibility. Players giving everything. That earns respect here. Even better, the standout player was a Mexican kid who had never seen snow in his life and still dominated.
Maybe it wasn’t pure association football. Even Atlético Ottawa’s coach admitted that. But the players said it best at the end: sand, snow, or the moon. They’re going to play.

@magnetic_tape @LisaBanana c'est vrai. J'ai des doubles pour les peluches et les doudous que mon enfant adore...
Mais si je devais acheter un deuxieme exemplaire pour chaque peluche qu'elle possède, il faudrait déménager dans un appartement plus grand. La collection de mon enfant est hors de contrôle (Lisa est au courant, LOL) 😅

🔴 #Tigray : how are the 760,000 IDPs today?
Waiting for justice & waiting to return home. #JusticeForTigray
Many survive by begging for food due to the lack of humanitarian support.
Even if they "returned" now, what conditions would they return to?
The impact of the genocidal war (nov2020//nov2022) & the current political conflict still prevent any possibility of a safe and dignified life. #Ethiopia

Je ne dis pas ça pour vous mais pour les (futurs) parents qui nous lisent : *toujours* acheter les peluches au moins en double sinon teiple, ne serait-ce pour les laver sans départir le/la petit-e de son doudou mais aussi pour subvenir en cas de perte.
