I'm so glad the NHL brought back the guy who covered up the sexual assault of a player by a coach so that he could hire the guy who psychologically abused his players in three different markets. What a league.
The message from FIFA to Donald Trump that he can ban Referees, players, staff, journalist, fans whoever the hell he likes was very clear.
He will now start banning Referees who make 'the wrong decisions' deporting star players of teams in the USA's way...
FIFA gave him the ok
Screw worm has now been found in a family pet in New Mexico.
There's likely 1000's of cases at this point.
Great job America!
Who could have guessed that the guy that killed a million Americans, & hires people from central casting, would have fucked everything up again.
So @FIFAcom’s position is that a referee they selected for the World Cup can be excluded because of one host country’s racism, and FIFA bears no responsibility whatsoever.
Then why wasn’t he assigned to Canada or Mexico?
The tournament has three host countries. The obstacle is one country, not the entire World Cup. So why isn't FIFA finding a solution?
What FIFA is really saying is that when officials from the Global South are discriminated against, accommodation is impossible and exclusion is acceptable.
A World Cup that only works for holders of the right passports is not a global tournament. It’s a privilege masquerading as one.

I'm all for players having the most rights ever against ownership. I'm a pro-player guy all the way. But I spent the day thinking about it and I cannot see a single reason why asking for a trade shouldn't void a NTC or NMC on a contract in the NHL.
The purpose of the clause is so a team doesn't move someone suddenly against their will. It's not to be used as leverage to hold them hostage on your way out.
So, that's something I can get behind. Once a player says he doesn't want to be there anymore - the team should have the right to seek the best place to put him.
This is a disgrace, FIFA needs to be disbanded.
They are letting the host country ban Referees because they don't like their skin colour.
There is no coming back from this.
Fans lucky and/or rich enough to get into Madison Square Garden will be subject to biometric surveillance. If they're on one of many enemies' lists, patrons could be followed throughout the arena -- including in and out of the bathroom, as our @WIRED investigation showed.
BREAKING: The boos aren’t just inside MSG, they are OUTSIDE too.
We’re getting reports that every-time Trump’s face is shown on screen New Yorkers can hear booing from residents all over the city. This is historic.
Let me run some of Babs greatest hits:
- Nick Lidstrom would’ve continued to play had Babcock not been the Red Wings coach
- Val Filppula left for Tampa to get away from Babs
- Chris Osgood says he’s the worst person he’s ever met
- Don’t get me started on Brad McCrimmon
The list is so long that the Johan Franzen saga wasn’t mentioned, nor was Chris Chelios getting drunk on the bench during the 2009 winter classic because Babcock wanted to originally scratch him.
And this is only the stuff we know about!
Dear @WhiteHouse: Have you apologized yet?
DOGE was a massive failure. The DOGE Bros were a toxic combination of cluelessness, arrogance and laziness. They made no effort to understand the vital programs they destroyed, like programs that were designed to prevent screwworms.
The 75 countries in red are the ones currently blocked from immigrating to the USA.
They also find it almost impossible to go to the World Cup, whether as a fan, journalist, player or even referee.
Why was the USA ever allowed to host the World Cup?
