Out of context Iyanla

@Liswa_Ora @scorpianwings @ASamantha He is but if a thing was never said or proven there’s no need to put it on his jacket. He’s an asshole but let’s keep it factual

@iyanlanocontext @scorpianwings @ASamantha I am not even defending Jordyn but stating the truth of the matter. You literally know Tristan is a problematic boy.

Look at how she ran into her arms I’d still be pissed off at my sister. Losing your best friend because this bitch has low self esteem and no standards

@SavannahDevils @chunhang7 Being younger and worse at football doesn’t guarantee that he’ll be better than Rashford, he had his entire Newcastle career to prove that he can be on that level and not a day in his life has he proven that he’s on the same level or better than Rashford

@iyanlanocontext @chunhang7 At least Gordon is still younger, we can say, maybe there’s still room for improvement. As for Rashford he’s peaked, not getting any better than he already is.

Are people for real saying Gordon has more ability than Rashford? I get the work rate, and pressing. Never was Rashford's strengths. But technical ability, Rashford is a unicorn of a player. You won't see Gordon bang in knuckleball freekicks that's for sure.

@Hosang @I_am_Fred1 @chunhang7 Or you just made the shit up

@iyanlanocontext @I_am_Fred1 @chunhang7 I’m not your servant. If you can’t go and find it yourself, you’re unqualified to discuss data 😂

@Hosang @I_am_Fred1 @chunhang7

@NeeNeeNichelle @Manspiration @YallLuvCris We’re going in circles, you’re saying you have a trend of Brits playing yall and I’m saying you benefit from a similar privilege with African stories, what are you disagreeing with?

@iyanlanocontext @Manspiration @YallLuvCris Wait I just saw the bottom. It absolutely does make it right. What are you talking abt? An isolated incident is absolutely fine A trend like what's happening in my country with my stories is a completely different thing. I never said No British actor should EVER play us Pattern!

Saying this after you literally played a Tuskegee airman and Martin Luther King is wild lol

@NeeNeeNichelle @Manspiration @YallLuvCris I literally gave you 4, did you ignore them or not see them, what the hell are we doing here?

@iyanlanocontext @Manspiration @YallLuvCris Oh I see, you're right about that one. I didn't notice. That's still the only accurate example though so…

@tweetcunha Xabi Alonso

Without being biased who gives the best long range pass ????

@NeeNeeNichelle @Manspiration @YallLuvCris I think it’s worse when a dominant film industry appropriates our stories and casts actors from the very nation that exploited us to portray our people than what you’re describing.

@iyanlanocontext @Manspiration @YallLuvCris IN MY COUNTRY? ABSOLUTELY! Do you ever tell stories with an American character in your country? Are you shipping in American actors for those depictions? I think not Telling stories about others isn't the same as excluding people from THEIR stories in THEIR COUNTRY

@NugsGetBuckets The answer to this question is LeBron. Fuck outta here

Who is the best Finals MVP since 2000?

@NeeNeeNichelle @Manspiration @YallLuvCris I brought Winnie up before you did and brought it back because you asked me to rehash the same point I opened with. Bringing up sales is similar to studios arguing for paying non-Americans less or casting for the European market—commercial logic doesn’t make it right.

@iyanlanocontext @Manspiration @YallLuvCris -I literally said Winnie and Nelson 🙄 -Last King of Scotland Was a British/Scottish production from 20 years ago FOR SALES! What high profile Black actors could have pulled those numbers in 2006?? - Hotel Rwanda 🇺🇸 - Invictus 🇺🇸 Both over 15 years ago, so where's the trend?

@NeeNeeNichelle @Manspiration @YallLuvCris So you’re telling stories about my people, casting your people in those roles, and somehow you don’t think that’s just as bad (or worse) than what you accuse them of doing to your people?

@iyanlanocontext @Manspiration @YallLuvCris So AMERICAN actors in AMERICAN films? Groundbreaking! Show me where YOU'RE COUNTRIES outsourced YOUR STORIES to us please. And the trend bc like I said once or twice is different from this clear trend

@NeeNeeNichelle @Manspiration @YallLuvCris Denzel as Steve Biko in Cry Freedom, Forest Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland, Viola Davis in The Woman King, Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela in Invictus

@iyanlanocontext @Manspiration @YallLuvCris Which African stories? I recently learned of Terrance Howard and I think Jennifer Hudson as Winnie& Nelson Mandela, that was pretty whack. What else?

@Hosang @I_am_Fred1 @chunhang7 Link me to it.

@iyanlanocontext @I_am_Fred1 @chunhang7 FotMob

@NeeNeeNichelle @Manspiration @YallLuvCris You didn’t bring up any of these. This thread started from me bringing these up, TF?

@iyanlanocontext @Manspiration @YallLuvCris You still aren't showing me this ongoing trend. You haven't even showed me one. The only film mentioned is the one EYE brought up. So what are you arguing?

@ssXFrosty @Tokyo_pi1 Why didn’t you go pro?

@Tokyo_pi1 Soccer was my first sport, knew nothing about it other than basic rules and was the best on the team at 5/6 years old at all aspects of the game. Raise in South Texas btw so I was playing with 90% Hispanics.

Stephen A. Smith thinks American footballers or athletes can’t match soccer players outside of America conditioning. Host: If America’s best athletes grew up playing soccer instead of basketball or football, would they dominate the world? Stephen Smith: Not so fast. Host: Why not? Stephen Smith: Because talent isn’t the issue. The conditioning gap is in soccer, you can’t hide. Everyone is running constantly. You can pace yourself in other sports, but not on a soccer pitch. Host: So what’s missing? Stephen Smith: Training. Coaching. Humility. Greatness is emulated. If you want to be great, study the best. Learn from Ronaldo’s training, diet and recovery. We’ve had a superiority complex for too long thinking we’re automatically the best. But greatness exists outside America, and if we want to compete, we have to learn from it. Look at Kobe Bryant. When his knee needed treatment, he didn’t stay in America. He went to Germany for the best stem cell and PRP options available.

@Squawka Gordon does nothing better than Rashford and Rashford has more big tournament experience

COMPARED: Anthony Gordon vs. Marcus Rashford per 90 in the league in 2025/26. 🕶️ Who should start on the left wing for England? 🤔

@NeeNeeNichelle @Manspiration @YallLuvCris I agree that they’re doing you dirty and I’m saying that while they do that to you, they cast Americans in my people’s stories and do the exact same thing to us while having some of you benefit more from it than we do.

@iyanlanocontext @Manspiration @YallLuvCris 1 That US companies do this, specifically abt imptnt BA historical figures 2 Taking these roles WE fought for WHILE/THEN disrespecting our ethnicity 3 No investment in the ppl they exploited 4 ZERO push for Black advancemen US NOR UK MEDIA! Complacency WE'RE still fighting 🤷🏽‍♀

@Hosang @I_am_Fred1 @chunhang7 Source?

@I_am_Fred1 @iyanlanocontext @chunhang7 Salah had was in 94 percentile for possession won in final 3rd when at Roma. 🤫

@NeeNeeNichelle @Manspiration @YallLuvCris I’m not talking you guys replacing Brits I’m talking about replacing Africans in African stories, my examples made that very clear.

@iyanlanocontext @Manspiration @YallLuvCris In whose productions are they playing those roles in? What BA is replacing Black Brits in BRITISH PRODUCTIONS of BLACK BRITISH STORIES? And not just 1 or 2 times, continuously as a trend? That's the problem to me. Point them out & drag them please. Lemme know when you find em

@Priceless_MCI What kind of free kicks did Botswana take in the World Cup today?

What kind of freekick is this 😭😭
