Wataru Endo has withdrawn from Japan’s World Cup squad due to injury, and announced his retirement from international football.
Keep your head up, Wata ❤️
Somali referee Omar Artan, who was denied entry into the USA ahead of the World Cup, has now been appointed by UEFA to officiate PSG vs. Aston Villa in the Super Cup final.
Remembering 79-year-old Franklin Agbotui who was beaten to death in an unprovoked attack by 20-year-old Phillip Fraczek in East London in 2024.
There were no riots and there was hardly any news coverage.
I do wonder why this poor man's MURDER was widely ignored by the press??
Absolutely NO evidence of this by the way. Never been flagged up in any other country he’s attended.
They’ve seen that it was a PR disasterclass, they’re desperate to save face now. Throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks.
Lowest of the low behaviour on show here.
Denying him entry was one thing but they're literally calling this innocent man a TERRORIST now and tarnishing his image in front of the whole world. Sick bastards.
Incorrect. He had a visa. From the US Embassy in Nairobi. It was valid. They vetted him there, and gave him a visa.
Then he landed in Miami, was detained for 11 hours, and deported to Istanbul.
THEN they branded him a terrorist.
A FIFA referee, simply because he’s Somali.
ITV News and the BBC referred to Omar Artan as a “Somali refugee” and “Somalia’s top refugee” instead of correctly identifying him as a professional referee.
They’re shamelessly pushing a narrative about a man who was travelling for work
Sue everyone. I don't care. Sue the airline, the airport, the agents, cause TSA agents subjecting a severely disabled person to this is physical torture, and now his condition has worsened because of their lack of compassion and commonsense.
This was completely unnecessary.
