.@scott_colom on why he knew it was important for @KamalaHarris to help bring attention to #Mississippi and his Senate race...
Because you were the least deserving of the flag bearer position! EBK went against the will of the people and the party!
APC were deprived of having a strong candidate to give Sierra Leoneans a worthy opponent at the general elections.

Our version of Donald Trump! You didn’t win anything! And the election to question is 2023 but even that one, you lost.
This man needs to understand that he was a terrible choice and just focus on whatever he’s doing now.

That exactly was the massive issue from the beginning! In a democratic system where we have primaries to choose a candidate, it was unacceptable that President Koroma had to be so involved in choosing his successor.
That’s why I called Mr. Kamara, his puppet and never liked it!
“Pastor Mambu told me that former President Ernest Bai Koroma approached him and gave him six names to pray over for divine guidance in choosing his flagbearer and successor, and that my name kept coming up repeatedly.”

Congratulations for fighting a good fight and emerging victorious, @scott_colom 👏🏻
Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. cnn.it/4iEnxUo

Who is the 1 that didn’t vote for it to be a penalty? Name and fire them because they’re idiots who shouldn’t be in such position as that was a stonewall pen!
And btw, this is irrelevant! It doesn’t change the outcome of the game or benefit #LFC
The verdict ⏬
The Key Match Incidents Panel voted 4:1 that a penalty should have been awarded on the field when Jurrien Timber pulled Alexander Isak's shirt, with a 3:2 vote that the VAR should have intervened and sent the referee to the pitchside monitor.

Nah, they’re basically saying he cannot practice his faith!
I know a lot of people are wondering what the controversy is about Felix Nmecha, especially after his recent goal celebration for Borussia Dortmund. So, let me explain.
The controversy is not necessarily about Nmecha being a Christian or expressing his faith through football. It is about the religious organisation associated with the celebration and the views it has been linked to.
Nmecha is associated with a Christian football network called Ballers in God (BIG), which promotes Christianity among professional footballers. His recent celebration, where he symbolically removes a crown from his head and places it on the ground, represents the idea of surrendering his crown to Jesus Christ through a campaign called The King’s Return.
However, investigations by German broadcaster ARD linked the campaign to an evangelical religious environment promoting some very controversial positions, particularly regarding homosexuality, transgender identity and abortion. Among the claims highlighted in the investigation were descriptions of homosexuality as a sin and abortion as Satan’s plan.
This is where the problem starts.
Nmecha has actually faced similar criticism before. When he joined Dortmund from Wolfsburg in 2023, some of his previous social media activity attracted backlash after he shared posts considered homophobic and transphobic. So, this isn’t an entirely new conversation surrounding him.
Dortmund’s supporters are particularly uncomfortable because the club has built a strong identity around diversity, inclusion, equality and respect for everyone, regardless of their sexuality, religion or background.
Their argument is that nobody should have a problem with Nmecha practising Christianity, but when the religious movement he publicly associates himself with is linked to views that could marginalise certain groups, it becomes a different conversation.
Nmecha has since defended himself, explaining that his celebration is about his personal relationship with Jesus and that his message has never been about promoting intolerance, discrimination or hatred. He also insists that Christianity should be about love and respect for everyone.

“Leading people to a focus life with Jesus Christ” absolutely love that and keep doing the good work 👏🏻 🙏🏻

It’s 3:44 AM and somehow this news has got me riled up 😤
Man United ought to give Michael Carrick time! He is the right man for the job.

You cannot and shouldn’t do this, Pochettino! He has a great job and he’s bout to turn his back on it for that lost cause.
One of the managers I like and rate, trust, he becomes public enemy no. 1 if he joins @UncleChris101’s relegation bound Man United.
Manchester United are finalising a deal for Mauricio Pochettino to become their next head coach, if an ultimate decision is taken to relieve Michael Carrick of his duties.
The Athletic reported on Monday that United were expected to let Carrick go, with his side in the Premier League relegation zone.

“Misguided values”?
Jürgen Klopp and Rudi Völler sat down with Felix Nmecha shortly after arriving at the DFB training camp in Herzogenaurach yesterday. During the meeting, they made it clear to the player that if they were to stand firmly behind him and wholeheartedly defend him amid the controversy, Nmecha would, in return, have to convince them that he did not stand for 'misguided values'
After the conversation, Nmecha put out a statement on Instagram explaining his position
BVB president and DFB vice-president Hans-Joachim Watzke also announced that the club would ask Nmecha to refrain from performing the crown celebration in the future. Dortmund are considering taking legal action against the “Ballers in God” (BiG) group if they don't stop using Nmecha as an ambassador in a BVB shirt to promote themselves on their social media channels
BILD contacted Nmecha, but he has yet to respond - and has also refused to give an in-depth Interview to answer follow-up questions and provide a comprehensive explanation of the issue

You people are mad! He can’t express his faith anymore? Like it’s not Christianity that hates on homosexuality etc.
Don’t allow people to use the faith to hate on others then prevent folks like Nmecha from living his faith and paying respect to the savior that is coming soon.
Felix Nmecha's goal celebration has generated backlash from a Borussia Dortmund fan club. 👑❌
The gesture is associated with the "Ballers in God" evangelical group which has been accused of promoting anti-LGBTQ+ views.
