JUST 10 MINUTES AGO: NCAA legend Dan Issel broke his silence with a powerful statement, defending Kentucky Wildcats player Otega Oweh ahead of a crucial playoff game: “What’s happening to him is a crime against soccer — a blatant betrayal of everything this sport stands for. How can people be so cruel? Criticizing a young man who’s carrying the team on his shoulders, showing up every week, giving his all, never asking for attention, never blaming anyone — simply trying to win. To me, Otega Oweh is one of the most special players this league has ever seen. Instead of criticizing him every time the team struggles, people should be behind him and supporting him.”
