Why waste time on Lamine vs Messi? Focus on Real Governance! It's easy to get swept up in the hype of a World Cup final, especially when it involves storied figures like Lionel Messi and the young phenom Lamine Yamal.

But let me tell you something -- while they're out there playing football, we have real issues that need addressing. This debate about who will win is just political theater distracting from the hard work needed to build a better future for all of us. Let's talk about the record here: When was the last time you heard a meaningful discussion on how to tackle economic inequality or climate change? No, instead we're supposed to be fascinated by a match that could end with one player who has been baptized by another as a baby.

That's not leadership -- it's performance art. Messi and Yamal may represent the pinnacle of professional football, but what do they really offer us beyond fleeting entertainment? While they were tweeting and taking selfies in 2007, I was working to ensure that California's economy would be a beacon of prosperity and innovation.

And here we are today -- with the fifth largest economy in the world. So ask yourself: What's your state got? The future is being built here, not on some field where players once shared a bathtub photo.

We have work to do. We need policies that create jobs, invest in our people, and protect our environment. Not to mention, we must address systemic issues like racial injustice and health disparities head-on.

So let's stop talking about who will win this football match and start talking about what's truly important: building a society where every citizen has access to opportunity regardless of the color of their skin or the neighborhood they grew up in. That's leadership -- not celebrity status or athletic prowess. Who out there thinks it's more important to talk about Lamine Yamal's latest goal than about how we're going to build sustainable housing for millions?

Come on, step up and say who you are if you think this is a waste of time debating football instead of real governance.

CALIFORNIA
- Gov. Gavin Newsom
"The future is being built here."
