Sports illustrated fired him for challenging their pay cuts during the pandemic.
He ran to unseat FIFA’s president.
He challenged human rights abuses in Qatar.
RIP Grant Wahl, who’s career was as much about great reporting as it was about speaking truth to abusive power.

In spring 2020, I crafted myself 5 rules for how I would engage on Twitter. Generally, I think they've worked well for me:
1. Tweet with intent 🖋️
2. Stay positive 🙂
3. Engage in good faith 🫱🏿🫲🏻
4. You don't owe anyone a response 💁🏻♀️
5. Never feed the trolls 🧌
