CONFLICT ASSESSMENT: THE POWERFUL IN WORLD CONFLICTS https://lnkd.in/grTfknXs As stakeholders in world conflicts, the influential (#celebrities) have consistently failed to use their power to prevent world conflicts and civil wars. Mbappe in France and Colin Rand Kaepernick in the USA have made stands because they are minorities and have a sense of right and wrong. That is very rare in the building of global conflicts. Right now, most celebrities are more interested in finding shelter than in preventing a full-blown national and international conflict. However, the absence of celebrities in the USA standing for what is right is appalling. Entitlement in the upper classes, Media flooding in the middle class and destructive lifestyles in the lower classes seem to suck the air out of everything. This is the fertile ground for national and world conflicts. Mbappe said: "It is an urgent juncture. We cannot let our country fall into the hands of these people. It is pressing — we saw the results, it is catastrophic.” Minority celebrities in the US will pay later. Middle-class minorities started to feel it when they, like Einstein, could not hold a job because of his background.

Living a life aligned with your personal values brings a lot of meaning, joy and fulfillment. But it brings as well a lot of sacrifice, sometimes pain and rejection. Acting aligned with your values is rarely about compromises. You stick to your values or not. You believe something is right or not. There are not half-baked solutions when it comes to #values. That's why a life of a CEO or any other leader or professional can be extremely fulfilling or miserable. Our choice. Kharlan made a decision aligned with what she believes in. 👉She has chosen to respect human rights more, than the sports rules. 👈 "The 32-year-old rejected Smirnova's handshake afterwards, instead offering her sabre to tap blades. It led to an appeal from Smirnova, who staged a 45-minute sit-down protest. "My message today is that we Ukrainian athletes are ready to face Russians on the sports field but we will never shake hands with them," Kharlan said afterwards." #culture #valuesbasedleadership #valuesatwork #companyculture #leadershipcoaching #leadershipdevelopment #upliftconsulting

28. June 2024. In 28 days, the Paris Olympics 2024 will be starting. The International Olympic Committee – IOC has chosen to maintain silence on allowing genocidal acteurs in occupied Palestine from participating in the Olympic Games. A nation led by war criminals, with a population in favour of a genocide will be participating at an event that is supposed to signify peace. ❌ This cannot be accepted. ❌ This must not be accepted. ⛔ We call for an immediate ban on the participation of the genocidal state in occupied Palestine! ⛔ No participation of its athletes - who all support the genocide - under a neutral flag! ⚠ There is still time. ⚠ Either ban it from Paris 2024. Or we boycott Paris 2024. #banorboycott #Olympics #Paris2024 #Paris Anne Hidalgo Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024

Very well written and said, Antonis. Captures much of why the clubs formed AAFC almost 7 years ago - seeking a voice and access to aspiration, which had been denied to them by a combination of misguided football development ideas ignorance and, it must be said and acknowledged, racism. By its nature, sport is a competitive pursuit, rewarding merit. It is also a pastime, a diversion from ordinary life and as such, a vehicle for cultural expression. Football, by its sheer attractiveness as a world sporting pursuit, has been pushed, pulled, prodded appropriated, commodified, distorted, bought and sold, during its recent and brief life in this ancient land in aid of myriad competing interests. It is by the sheer force of people's connection to and love for the clubs they made (much less so the ones arranged for them) that this new national competition is possible today. No clubs equals no competition. It is not a coincidence that the foundation clubs of the new National Second Tier and those which have knocked and continue to knock on the door for inclusion are backed by strong cultures and communities from which they emerged and into which they are embedded. It's how it works when it truly works. AAFC banged on the door until its member clubs were 'allowed' back in and they banged the door to rid us of the National Club Identity Policy. Yes, everyone, say that aloud and imagine our world into which it was introduced. One in which our Prime Minister then, John Howard, felt comfortable saying that we were a "tolerant" country and that he tolerated people of the 'other' cultures. How so very magnanimous...and misguided. Monocultural, not monoethnic, clubs were a natural function of the time in which they were founded and monoculturalism is a natural initial phase of many organisations. Indeed, it is often a necessity and the reason for the birth of such an organisation. It just wasn't noticed when the monoculture was British. I lived through a time, not entirely past, when as a lawyer, a law firm named Jones, Smith and White was natural in the way Galatas, Giannopoulos and Aspros wasn't. As they grow and become part of the community, such clubs become, naturally and organically, multicultural. We saw a reversion recently to insularity and monoculturalism of some of these clubs - a natural response to being shrunk by decree. People need not fear the NST clubs will revert to moniculturalism. Allowed to aspire and rise again, they will find their natural place within our football and wider community. The opportunity to play a part in preserving our cultural traditions and enabling them to again thrive, through growing football by increasing the number of our thriving clubs, has been my primary motivation in volunteering in pursuit of this new competition. That it will also grow football and offer opportunities for players, coaches, referees, administrators, fans and so many others makes even more worthwhile.

Today, we commemorate the International Day of Sports for Peace and Development, a powerful reminder of the transformative impact sports can have on individuals and communities worldwide. Let's embrace the spirit of unity and well-being as we come together to promote peace through sports. #kathircaas #sportsday #peace #sportdday2024 #coimbatore #AdmissionsOpen #admissionopen2024_25

Ukraine will be participating in the upcoming Summer Olympics in #Paris. This participation holds substantial importance for the nation, symbolizing an opportunity to demonstrate its resilience and determination on a global stage. The Ukrainian team will compete under the powerful motto: "The Will to Win." For Ukraine, the #Olympics represent much more than just a series of sports events; they are a vital platform to affirm the country's existence, struggle, and capability to achieve victory against the odds. Competing under the #Ukrainian flag in Paris is seen as a strong expression of national willpower, especially in the face of adversity. This year's Olympics are not just about sports for Ukraine; they are about making a statement of unwavering spirit and the unbreakable will to win, under the most challenging circumstances. #WeAreUkraine #StandWithUkraine
