No matter what any European tries to say it will never erase the fact that a South American black man who came from a poor background was THE KING.

Pelé pretty much put Brazil in the world map, what he did for this nation is something that no other will be able to.

In the end, when everything is gone, there still be the image of a eighteen year old Pele doing a hat trick during the 58’s World Cup

May he finally rests

It took me a while but I finally got a video with good video quality (at some point the audio gets shit, but that's what I managed to find) of the speech Marta gave when receiving the honor during the FIFA The Best awards ceremony today.

(I did my best to translate, but it's worth remembering that my first language is Portuguese (BR) and I don't usually speak English that often, so the text/speech may contain some errors)

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to speak in Portuguese because I want you to understand what I want to say at this moment".

"It's always difficult to go on that stage and not get emotional. I was fortunate enough to receive the best player award a few times and I think it's much easier (to receive this award) because you'll base yourself on what you did throughout the year and thank your teammates, thank everyone staff, family, but this (the tribute) is, without a doubt, much more special, it's difficult to even find words, but I want that, just as I see in this tribute, I want all women to also be able to see a promising future where it is not only directed towards football, sport, but any activity because what we seek daily through what God destined us to do is to seek to make the world a better place for everyone without distinction. It's about seeking equality, respect and I leave this message here for all those who have the power to transmit this message through what you do: do it, do it because the next generations will thank you. They will thank a Ronaldo (R9), a Zagallo, they will thank a Pelé [...] They will thank Jenni (Hermoso), who I had the pleasure of playing with in 2013 and who has evolved so much and has been doing her job on and off the field as a citizen of the world. So I want to thank FIFA and the entire football community for the honor that I am receiving in life and still in activity and I want to say that this, without a doubt, is a great motivation for us to continue seeking to evolve, because there is always the to learn and in a year of the Olympics (it inspires me to) who knows, maybe not play another one. After that I'll have the answers as to whether I'm going to continue or not, but for now, thank you very much. I'm very happy, my heart is just grateful".

On 10 November 1968, the Queen and Prince Philip watched the exhibition football game between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro at the Maracaña stadium. The São Paulo team won and the Queen presented the winner’s trophy to Brazilian football legend, Pelé.

REST IN PEACE, REI PELÉ. (1940-2022)

"Quando eu cheguei Pelé já era essa memória daora de uma geração, mas era uma memória tão poderosa que parecia que ele ainda tava em campo. Eu sei que o Pelé é uma figura controversa, mas ele é um rei. Um rei que ousou ser rei no país mais racista do mundo, que também é um país destruidor de super heróis.

Eu tive por anos a imagem de um Pelé alienado, isso é uma ficção da imprensa esportiva branca. O Pelé enquanto rei disse a frase 'Eu nunca tirei a minha cor pra jogar' ou a poderosíssima 'O sinônimo do politico hoje no Brasil é corrupto, e o negro não carrega essa marca, então negros deveriam votar em negros'. Ninguém fala desse Pelé, nenhum de nós viu manchete com essas frases porque esse país, que é destruidor de heróis, se esforçou com muita habilidade para colocar o preto vencedor numa posição que não pertence a nenhum espaço, impuro para os brancos e traidor para os negros.

Pelé é uma figura complexa pra caralho, cheia de nuances, mas eu gostaria que ele fosse mais celebrado também. Como essa figura conciliadora, que parou uma guerra, que fez a geração que veio antes da nossa geração sonhar com algum reconhecimento. Eu queria demais que ele pudesse ter o premio máximo que um de nós pode receber, que é o de ser percebido apenas como um ser humano. Se hoje eu pego um microfone e canto que é possível alcançar o topo, é porque os nossos pais contaram pra gente que era possivel após ver um cara preto com uma camisa 10 e um punho cerrado lá em cima desse topo." – EMICIDA
