LeBron James, Carli Lloyd and many others reacted to the death of American soccer journalist Grant Wahl, who died in Qatar while covering the World Cup.
and I were launching the soccer mag Striker, Grant Wahl reached out, out of the blue, to ask how he could help. He ended up writing in every issue, for basically nothing, to help us, and to help soccer. So sad to hear of his passing. 💙I am at a loss for words…. Grant Wahl was more than just *THE* soccer guy….. he was extremely kind and welcoming to everyone in the soccer world and most importantly- he was brave and when people didn’t have a voice he raised his for them.
He treated me with a level of respect I didn’t deserve. He gave me an opportunity when I needed one. And most importantly he was kind. Needlessly kindGrant Wahl advanced the sport he covered in a manner unmatched among contemporary American sports journalists. A generation of soccer fans learned the game through his storytelling. He was loyal. He cared for people. I cannot believe I will never hear my friend’s laugh again.
