Jayden Daniels says the way the team started the game was “BS” when asked about his motivational speech to his teammates.

Question asked by Jake Kauderer.

Israel is violently using intimidation tactics to silence journalists. @radwanmortada is one of many journalists who have been targeted by Israel. I want to make something clear, the Lebanese government did NOT open an investigation into the pager attacks, this documentary is the only investigation that has been made. These journalists risked their lives and used their own resources and the Lebanese government STILL refuses to protect them. The Israelis made a counter documentary of their account of the pager attacks, one that they celebrate. Watch Radwan’s documentary instead, they’re literally trying to silence so it’s worth watching. It’s called “The Trap” and Al Jazeera just provided English subtitles. Link in my bio!
