This young woman is an incredible mountain biker in Afghanistan. Read about her and her supportive and doting family:

Great piece on the challenges, resilience and passion of Afghan athletes.

Jose Mourinho thrown off of pitch. Cristiano Ronaldo ejected.

Atletico Madrid win Copa del Rey. 

CR7 in despair and disbelief. 

At least Real Madrid won’t do anything ridiculous like throw the trophy under a bus. 

You win some, you lose some and then you and your perfect hair get a red.

So here is this image by a German artist named Nabi Nara. 

I have no idea what the hell the other pictures are trying to say and I don’t really care.

I am not interested in politicizing, ostracizing or sexualizing a s/he discussion on burqas. 

However, I do like this *specfic* image. Whether or not it’s a part of a larger exhibit, I am not sure. 

But it resonates with me.

It reinforces that whatever someone appears to be - don’t be misled. They may be able to school you on the pitch.

To think that a woman may not be interested in sports, art or music because of her customs, beliefs or whether she is (un)veiled is absurd and ignorant.

She can smash assumptions.

I don’t wear a burqa but I am confident that I can keep up or beat a lot of people. The same people who look at me and assume because I am a woman of colour, a mother and a wife -wearing a headscarf- that *I* can’t play. 

I can.

I will.

So will my daughter.

Football is for all of us.
