Wondering why the silence is so loud.?
@FIFAcom top man tells African teams and the Global South to “chill and relax” as delegations get humiliated on the tarmac, visas get weaponized, and a Somali referee gets blocked from the World Cup entirely (see my last post), the press conferences roll on like business as usual.
Where are the African journalists in Mexico actually pressing these people on the double standards? The same FIFA that preaches “unity” and “political neutrality” watches Western host nations turn borders into tools of humiliation and says nothing. CAF leadership? Still missing in action. Motsepe and co. would rather protect their seats than defend African dignity.
This isn’t sport. It’s power flexing with a ball. The multipolar world isn’t chilling. We’re watching who still thinks they can dictate terms to the rest of us.
No more begging for respect on their terms. Sovereignty means we stop accepting second-class treatment — on the pitch and off it.
