    Maybe not home. Maybe the fuck outa Colombia.

    Also, I don’t much care for Liverpool but the little documentary piece about Diaz where his dad is showing that shitty ass field his son played on; it won me over on him and his wholesome dad.

    Praying they make it to safety.

      We all exist without and within our clubs. No one deserves this kind of treatment - appreciate you putting banter aside to acknowledge the humanity here.

        Who wouldn’t? I support Chelsea but I don’t boo a Man United legend when he dies. I wouldn’t insult someone who’s going through a really hard time based on the club he’s associated with. 99.99% of football fans are not like the small percentage of Man City fans who had the audacity to insult a Man United legend when he died. It’s just sad and I wish Luis Diaz the best of luck.

      Yeah but who would he take? It’s not just his parents, kidnappers could go for any siblings, aunts and uncles, and so on.

      @Thanos_Stomps As a person who has over 50+ relatives in Colombia, and a distant relative who was the President of Colombia from 2002 to 2010, sometimes finances play a role whether you can leave a dangerous country. Also, many people have small businesses, especially in Medellin and that’s how they make a living. People hate leaving suddenly selling at a huge loss, and not being able to afford to leave a dangerous country. Look at the Japanese American citizens in the United States after the Pearl Harbor attack by the Empire of Japan in World War 2 against the United States. They were forced to sell homes and their own businesses for a pittance. This is the sad reality of my ancestral homeland.
