@JGreenbergSez Yeah nah ... shameless behaviour by US and FIFA administration, and player balogin and US team.
FIFA destryoyed this world cup and even more so with arg vs egypt result
The thing is this:
No one can be surprised that Trump has disregarded and destroyed any credibility of FIFA regulations.
It was inevitable, especially once Infantino took a knee.
Trump’s been doing the same thing to international law.
Rules mean nothing to Trump, nor to the US for that matter. He considers himself above them all.
If we apply Trump’s international conduct to football, we should expect the US to sanction the referee for having the temerity to hand out the red, seize any US assets he may have had, and place tariffs on the referee’s country.
If not abduct their leader, and bomb their people.
And of course, demand a veto over any referee, or FIFA decision relating to the US.
This is what the world has allowed and enabled.
Infantino and FIFA is just the latest victim.
It’s not only FIFA, therefore, that needs reform.
1. The Holocaust was evil, as everyone knows
2. The Holocaust was NOT uniquely evil, as some claim
3. Throughout history there have been other genocides, often carried out by Europeans against indigenous people
4. The genocide in Gaza is not exactly the same as the Holocaust, obviously, but it is in the same moral category
5. The Nazis killed babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they were Jews. The Israelis kill babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they are Palestinian
6. Israel and its supporters weaponise and abuse the memory of the Holocaust, sometimes to close down argument and sometimes even to justify the genocide in Gaza
Please watch and make this go viral. During Albanese’s speech my beautiful Lebanese Australian friend, long time Labor member, stood up and walked out of the NSW Labor Conference wearing her Palestinian flag.
What a powerhouse she is ❤️🇵🇸👊
