Pour rappel, la sélection haïtienne 🇭🇹 n'a pas eu le droit de jouer avec un maillot qui rappelait symboliquement la bataille de Vertières décisive avant l'indépendance du pays car la FIFA a jugé que cela était un "message politique"
C'est à la carte ou à la volonté de la Maison Blanche désormais la "politisation" à la FIFA...
When Sepp Blatter is taking to social media to call out corruption on your watch, it’s probably time to accept that the game’s up.
This is like Fred West critiquing your paving technique.
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.
You voted against banning fire and rehire.
You voted against day one sick pay for workers.
You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.
Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.
You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.
🚨 The French burn buildings to the ground when they threaten to raise the retirement age by a year.
Americans will watch their own citizens being murdered by government goons and tell you she deserved it.
A nation of bootlicking sheep. 🇺🇸🐑

This new #FM26 layout is mad, trying to sign a winger as a free agent for Boston United and think I’ve accidentally sent my Assistant Manager on loan to Hashtag United
Hi @JimWhite of @talkSPORT
After your dismissive, and condescending, comments about ‘fan media’ I dare you to invite @ibroxrocks & @PaulJohnDykes, from a Celtic State Of Mind, onto your show.
I don’t think you will for fear of being shown up.
Prove me wrong.

For every politician and journalist who supported Israel's onslaught, or stayed silent:
This photograph should haunt you for the rest of your life.
You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.
One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over.
We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival.
Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it "was not appropriate" we played Glastonbury.
Walk off stage to the rapturous sounds of good people and into the creaking scheming sounds of the establishment.
This "investigation" was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines.
Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close....yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation.
Why open and publicise an investigation into fuck all?
This is political.
This is targetted.
This is state intimidation.
After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes - you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action - that is seen by two people only.
There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts.
We will continue to fight.
We will continue to win.
These people say this and then still shop at retail parks, oppose traffic measures to make walking safer, and lose their shit when your try to remove on street parking to make it possible.
The people who loudly say they want this are the ones who destroyed it in the first place.
