    like the thing about maradona is that he is like an polar opposite of pele which is the other player of his cultural importance like pele said about the brazilian dictatorship “There is no dictatorship in Brazil. Brazil is a liberal country, a land of happiness. We are a free people. Our leaders know what is best for [us], and govern [us] in a spirit of toleration and patriotism.” and complained about muhammed ali not wanting to go to vietnam while maradona was using his position to fight this it is just a huge lost

      I totally get the gist of what you’re saying. Diego always happened to be on the right side of a lot of shit— so much that it’s hard to begin to explain.

      Dude genuinely had socialist tendencies by way of life experience.

      Man this one fucking sucks.

        I don’t think that applies to him. I think more of an Obama type when that phrase gets brought up.
