The racist, dehumanising remarks against @KMbappe by Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla are despicable, regrettably not isolated.
States & sports organisations must prevent acts of racism & discrimination, and ensure independent and effective accountability. Social media must also prevent and address racial discrimination on their platforms.

0 - Cristiano Ronaldo is the only forward to play 500+ minutes across the 2022 and 2026 World Cup tournaments without successfully dribbling past an opponent.
Introvert.
🚨 Cristiano Ronaldo: “I will wake up tomorrow with same mood as I did today. I did my best”.
“I won three titles with Portugal, before me it was ZERO titles. I can only be happy”.
Gianni Infantino has further diminished the reputation of an organisation that had already become a byword for sleaze under his predecessor Sepp Blatter. He should resign.

@cenkuygur Do you even understand soccer rules, sometimes best players have to watch the rest of the team play final because of suspension or even injury that’s just how soccer works, the team that wins is not always the best team, one of the reasons it’s called the beautiful game.
Any outcome that doesn't result in Infantino resigning in disgrace very dangerous for football. Lamentably, corruption is accepted in daily life under the pretense that we can't properly see it. Much the same reason we keep buying brands use nefarious manufacturing practices.
Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA?
Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump
