@RalphSchindler5@FiredUpCoug Are you old enough to remember the BYU team from 15-20-ish years ago that had a few RMs that spoke Spanish? While on the floor together they would call out plays and assignments to each other in Spanish to confuse the opponent. 😁
FIFA President Gianni Infantino:
“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.
“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.
“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.
“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.
“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”

@RadDawg2@jlinehan9 Curious. Defender wraps all 5 fingers around Balogun's elbow and causes Balogun to twist... but that is a push on Balogun's arm? I need a refresher on the physics of pushes and pulls. 🤔🤔
@jlinehan9@RoKhanna@friedberg@sama The real sad part? Most of them know what they say is hypocritical and even illogical... But millions of Our Fellow Citizens can't see through that and keep electing these people. So long as the masses believe them, they will keep saying this stuff.
😑🙄😑🤦
@miking330@ByuSome As a part of that, too many people see the 1 or 2 "bad apples" in the work environment, then demand rules be invoked for everyone just to, they think, deal with the bad apples. Terrible logic.
@miking330@ByuSome ☝️ THIS ☝️
Your experience follows mine. Every situation can be different, but the guy making the claim is committing a classic logical fallacy called sweeping generalization... taking a specific example and assuming it to be universal.
