    An incumbent president conceding defeat in a reportedly close race isn’t as normal as you would hope. Good on him for doing the right thing for his country and the people.

      I mean just look at the Trump 2020 fiasco. Even first world countries can be thrown to the brink of anarchy if the president gets a bit dictatorial. This guy won the highest individual footballing achievement and now he’s doing one of the hardest things a president can do, conceding defeat. Absolute chad.

      I was reading Weah’s Wikipedia page the other day and it says he was the first president to take over in a peaceful transition of power in Liberia’s history.

      Hopefully that keeps going after the next guy too
