This happened in a Twitch stream where Luis Enrique (coach of the Spanish national football team) was raising money for a foundation that helps children who have a terminal illness make their last hospital stay easier.
The problem? According to a Spanish fan who was following the stream, they don't want to give money that will help children with cancer if the children are from Catalonia.
That comment wasn't a surprise, I'm sure we all have heard much worse, but the surprise came with Luis Enrique's great response, which has gone viral in Catalan social media.
Luis Enrique tells this fan that they don't want people who think they're better or worse for being from a place or for speaking a language, and says that if that's what they believe he doesn't want their money.
Many others would have led those comments slide, they would do nothing or they would laugh when Spanish people make these comments against Catalan people or other minorities, but Luis Enrique decided to call it out publicly and exclude the hateful commenter from the group activity. This is what works to stop normalized bigotry. Thank you!
i was feeling nostalgic and slightly depressed about this season, so i sat down and put this together. i spent around a little over an hour on it, so it's definitely not my finest work lol, but i thought i'd share it here. i'm still planning on putting together a Xavi Era tribute at the end of the season.
also by the way i had to compress the video because the file was so large lmaoo so the quality might not be the best
all clips were taken from twitter, the majority were from barça's official account or they have a watermark on them. most of them are in chronological order, from 1998 to 2024, except for a few obvious ones.
also obvious credit to coldplay for viva la vida, our unofficial second anthem.
psg loses in Paris, the team is in the lockers humiliated af, the stadium is empty; meanwhile Enrique still on the pitch hugging and congratulating every Barca player lol
you can take a man away from barcelona but you can't take barcelona from a man
