Escobar Blog Post

They were majorly connected because the drug money was funding the soccer teams in Colombia. Pablo Escobar also was very good friends with the players and would invite them up to visit him in jail. Also the drug industry called the shots that resulted in the death of Andres Escobar. Pablo was so controversial because he was a terrible drug lord that ruled the underworld, but he was very good to the poor. He killed many people in Colombia and around the world, but he built homes for the poor because that was where he originally came from and he wanted to support them. I thought he was a very bad man because of all the drugs he exported and deaths he caused. One good thing cannot undo a lifetime full of wrongs. Andres Escobar was a great soccer player and captain for the Colombian National Team. His death should not have occurred because all he did was make a mistake, which everyone does at least a few times in life. I thought that the documentary was very well put together, and even though there were subtitles I was able to get the whole story.
