"Its not a world cup if you don't allow the world to come in!"

Former referee, Christina Unkel, SLAMS decision to refuse Omar Artan entry to the US!

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Omar Artan didn’t just make the #FIFAWorldCup, he made history as the first Somali referee to get there, and as #Africa’s best. That milestone stands no matter what. So sorry to see this, Omar. You reached the summit of your profession and inspired a generation back home just by getting there, and being kept off the pitch you earned doesn’t change that. This won’t be the end of your story on the world stage. The world stands with you as one family, wishing you resilience now and many more major finals to come. Solidarity. #Somalia

Tickets for Iran fans revoked, says federation https://t.co/jRMJ4ldgQR

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.

The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

The USA has just withdrawn ALL the World Cup tickets supplied to Iran, meaning that none of their supporters will be able to attend their games.

Donald Trump is banning Referees and banning supporters, he is trying to fix the World Cup.

The USA have to be disqualified.

Iranian Football Federation announces the 8% ticket quota allocated to Iran has been revoked by the U.S., leaving the federation currently unable to distribute tickets to supporters.

A case study in political interference, discrimination and FIFA looking the other way.

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to referee at the World Cup, was denied entry to the United States.

He received a diplomatic passport from the Somali embassy but was turned away upon his arrival.

Omar Artan was elected Best African Referee in 2025.

New York Knicks fans are furious that Trump’s attendance is causing major disruptions ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden.

These are just some of the comments on a Knicks post informing fans that they will need to arrive at least two hours before the game because of his attendance.

[Julito McCullum aka LITO @IamJulito]

No MSG watch party outside the Garden during the biggest game of the year because a selfish weirdo chooses to want to make himself the center of attention during a moment where the vibes have been immaculate . Y’all president is really a weirdo.

Donald Trump has been a total disaster for America, for Wisconsin, and especially for Wisconsin farmers, who have borne the brunt of his tariffs. Diesel is nearly $6 a gallon. Fertilizer has spiked 25%. Farm bankruptcies in this state jumped 700% last year.

He does not care.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Q: Why do you think that the cheapest price for the NBA Finals game you're going to is $8,000? Everyday Americans can't afford these sporting events

Trump: They can watch it on television. It's semi-free to watch it on TV. That's the way life is

Bryce Mitchell on Trump's White House UFC fight:

Our government is desecrating its role in society by entertaining sports. Our government is to protect and serve the people. Our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation. The government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.
