SCOOP: We obtained an email from a FIFA fan who purchased a $150 USA sweater at a game. They claim they noticed afterwards that the US flag was stitched UPSIDE DOWN.
They asked for a replacement, and @FIFAcom responded that they can do a return, seemingly only for online orders, as they require an order number and other information, which is not available for an in-person purchase, according to an email we reviewed.
Why are official FIFA shirts being sold with the US flag upside down @FIFAcom??
REPORT: Jeff Metcalf, the father of Austin Metcalf, received a “cease and desist”, directing him to stop using the phrase “Watermelon Felon,” claiming the term is “privately copyrighted/patented,” valued at $100 million in .999 pure silver, and owned by a “Foreign Trust.”
It referenced the “New Moon” as part of the date and demands that he remove the phrase not only from social media, but from his “mouth” and “vocabulary.” To top it off, it threatens legal consequences if he doesn’t comply within seven days.
Here’s the problem: copyright law doesn’t protect short phrases, patents don’t protect words, and simply dressing a document up with barcodes, seals, and references to trusts doesn’t magically give it legal authority. If this was intended to intimidate a grieving father into silence, it missed the mark.
I asked Jeff to send me a video that perfectly captured how he felt about this cease-and-desist. So… here you go. 👇
It appears CitySide Records can take their “cease and desist” and shove it right up their fourth point of contact.
I will share the letter in the thread.
.@usbank, one of the largest American banks, was reportedly a sponsor for a Somali Independence Day event where they flew the American flag UPSIDE DOWN.
Ronaldo, taking the field now for Portugal, had two games of his red card suspension removed by FIFA on appeal. If it hadn’t been, he would have missed the first two games of the World Cup. Zero outrage from anyone over this appeal being granted. Explain the difference. Thanks.

When police are admitting this out loud, it's time to admit the cage isn’t coming, we're already inside it.
