Private prisons making $1.4 billion charging corrupt ICE bureaucracy $307,000 “per bed” as top 15 cops in San Francisco make average of $700,000 is why shifting resources from systems of incarceration to systems of care is one of the most popular policies in 40 years of polling.
Today I join others from across our game and call for Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA President.
Infantino has debased the office that he promised to elevate. He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve.
He has lost the support of his senior staff, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it would seem, the FIFA Peace Prize winner.
It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.

Today’s blog also takes a look at whether FIFA actually needs the money, growth in the organisation’s revenue, profits and reserves, distributions to the member associations, importance of the World Cup, the low-ball valuation and who benefits.

BREAKING: UEFA sources tell @talkSPORT all 55 Member Associations have decided to boycott the men's and women's World Cups in protest at Gianni Infantino's Fifa Forward Enterprise plans.
UEFA members agreed on an emergency call that began around 2pm today that they will not support any FIFA-run tournament.
🎩 @martynziegler, who first broke the story.
The average goal difference in all games so far (not counting overtime and PKs) is 1.54 goals. As one would expect with 48 teams (and greater team quality differences) this is higher than in 2022 (1.41) and 2018 (1. 28).
We are unlikely ever to go back to the days of the 1950s, when the average goal difference was 2.5 and even 3. (There were simply many more goals per game scored then.)
This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.
@CriminalCosta@D_FirePrince You are either a rage baiting idiot or don’t know ball if you think MG is this. Chelsea is a den of mediocrity and ass wash, but he is one of the one decent players to exist and subsist in that filth
