Seems like a good time for FIFA and UEFA to get a divorce.
Boycott FIFA and WC. Period. UEFA should take over FIFA roles and organized WC.
What the heck is happening in world , the corruption is wide open ,
As an American as I understand it everybody owns baseball as a sport to play or watch but it's the league owners and the team owners that own those components. Trying to understand how FIFA and football are different. I don't like what Hollywood is doing to many franchises that I love but I don't own the IPs to change that just because of my affection.
If you don't like it then boycott… They know fans wont globally, so who cares 🤷🏾♂️. These goblins dont care about some higher moral code. Who owns futball? They are about to.
Its just a mafia. Its main function is to whitewash people like Trump, Claudia Sheinbaum etc. I hate everyone who gives them money or even watches it.
Enshitification again
Everything is about gouging.
Corruption is open and notorious.
FIFA is a cancer. Chop it off. We can play and host football anywhere. The US sports investment model should not be accepted.
He's named Johnny Infantino because his moral compass is about as well formed as an infants.
