Valair Shabilla, from SixOneFive Soccer, joins us to talk about La Brigada De Oro's recent decision to stop attending Nashville SC home games. They have done so not as a protest but out of fear of being targeted by heavy handed ICE activity that has been prevalent in the Nashville area. Immigrants or people who simply look like immigrants have had places of gathering targeted by ICE operations wherein due process and decency towards fellow humans has been put to the side.

Valair tells us all about the current situation and also the history and significant role La Bragada plays at Nashville's home games. We both talk about how this situation and many others like it around the country have effected us and how almost all of us here in the US were immigrants at some point.

As much as we might like to stick to soccer, this is a situation that can't be ignored.

You can keep up with La Brigada and Nashville SC on SixOneFive Soccer and you can follow Valair on BlueSky as well.
