It’s so obvious they’re doing everything to try and get Iran to withdraw from the World Cup without having to say they don’t want Iran in their country.
so instead of showing the world cup opening ceremony i expect the bbc crew to give everyone watching a lecture about ethics and human rights like they did in 2022
🚨|🎙️ Ian Wright has slammed the situation unfolding ahead of the World Cup:
🗣️ “I'm really laughing… but this isn't funny. Tickets are exorbitant, travel costs are high, and visas are being rejected… Is this how a host behaves?” 👀🇺🇸
“We saw how Qatar was criticized… and now? I don't hear a thing!”
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.
It is extremely important to the entire United States of America that tomorrow night at the Knicks game they show Trump on the big screen and everyone boos and then they immediately show Zohran on the big screen and everyone cheers. Please have this teed up @TheGarden
It is okay to be Jewish.
It is okay to attend your local synagogue.
It is okay to celebrate Hannukah.
It is not okay to use white phosphorus on civilians in Gaza and Lebanon.
Pro athletes get fined when they disrespect the media like this yet alone the negative response they would get for talking to a woman in this form without any regard but I mean this behavior has made him successful
Life’s ills
No country should be allowed to host the World Cup while imposing discriminatory rules on qualified and participating teams.
This ought to be a very basic requirement.
Bad transport links, highly inflated ticket prices, triple the price for the train to and from the games, people getting shot, fans being denied visas to enter the country, Iran NT players being interrogated for 7 HOURS
But Qatar 2022 faced more outrage when people heard there was no alcohol. Okay man
First, the loyal fans who supported the Knicks for decades when the team sucked (emptying thier wallets for tickets, shirts, jerseys) get priced out of the building when New York finally reaches the Finals (by insanely wealthy patrons willing/capable of casually blowing $20k on a pair of tickets to a basketball game, many of them having just hopped on the bandwagon or purchased tix to Game 3 solely b/c MSG is “the place to be” this week).
Then those same loyal, working-class fans get a second middle finger from ownership. Due to Dolan's desire to host Trump, thousands of diehard Knicks fans are denied the chance to gather outside the Garden, watch the game on a big screen, and share a once-in-a-lifetime moment with the community that helped keep this franchise alive when nobody else cared.
Access is reserved for the powerful, rich and/or connected, not the fans who stuck with this team through 20+ years of misery.
James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell
