Alejandro Bedoya doesn’t score often enough to have a goal celebration. So what he did Sunday was completely unscripted, inspired partly by joy and partly by anger, writes kbaxter11.
The Miami Marlins apologize for invoking Steve Irwin’s death in Twitter feud with the Tampa Bay Rays. Alejandro Bedoya is named MLS player of the week after in-game call for gun control.Bedoya, 32, has played professionally in Sweden, Scotland, France and the U.S., which has informed many of his views. And as the son of Colombian immigrants, he has been an outspoken critic of President Trump’s attempts to ban refugees and asylum-seekers.
“I used my platform. I used my voice, which I think is important for others to do as well, to keep the conversation going,” he said.“Long before I was born, politics and sports have been intertwined. Especially after this weekend, how can you just watch a soccer game without thinking of something like that?”
