জ্যাকসনের লাল কার্ডের আড়ম

লাল কার্ডটি সমস্যা ছিল नা—ব্যবস্থা

আমি dekhechhi, jackson-ke pitch theke niye jeteche ekta footnote hishebe. Sei red card? Tar doṣh holo na—system er chinha.

South Side-er gyms-e fluorescent light-er niche amra ei kotha dekhechhi: young black athletes ke ‘elite’ banaite cheyache… kintu failure-e punishment pawa. League heart-measure kore na—fear measure kore.

“পারফেক্ট্‌ स्ट्राइकर”-এর myth

ESPN-er hylop bole “low-class”—kintu se point miss korechhe.

Jackson-ke perfect hote hobe na—se space chayechhe.

Jabot team down hoile—backup ball touch na korle—mercy pawa jay na. Tumi erased hoye jao. Aar tabe poro: “Tumi ki sochcho?”

Amra Sabai Hara Geyam Kotha Bujhie

Mikel mukh shakhe. “Silly. Silly. Silly.” Kintu silence silly chilo na—strategy chilo. Jackson control hara nai—table er seat hara nai. Tara chai je se score kore… kintu breathe korbe na.

Asli Competition Pitch-e Na, Backroom-e

Ei khela football niye na.—ei khela ki ke dinner-e invite kora hoye ar ki ke last e serve hoye ta niye. Tara Jackson-ket eight-year contract dey… tar name starter list theke niye nibe jabot se score korche hunger—not dignity. Amra mistake punish kori na—we punish visibility.
