Mmm. The same Sepp Blatter who was FIFA president from 1998 to 2015 so was in charge when in 2010 when FIFA controversially voted to award the hosting rights for the 2018 World Cup to Qatar even though he was well aware about the treatment of Migrants in Qatar and discriminative LGBT+ laws?

The same Sepp Blatter who has been banned from FIFA until 2027 due to corruption probes?

The same Sepp Blatter who USA goalie Hope Solo accused of sexual assault in 2017 Solo said in an interview with the Portuguese newspaper Expresso that Blatter grabbed her butt during FIFA’s Ballon d’Or awards ceremony in January 2013. “I had Sepp Blatter grab my ass,” Solo said.”It was at the Ballon D’or one year, right before I went on stage."

The same Sepp Blatter who said in January 2004 female footballers should wear “more feminine clothes.” “Let the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball,” he said at the time...They could, for example, have tighter shorts."

Yeah. For sure should be taken seriously.


He is better vs Trump and republicans. What the f. You republicans actually think you are moral and upstanding individuals?


It’s not helpful to yell out - you a Republican idiot - every time someone points out something that is different from your limited viewpoint.

I am not Republican. I am just aware FIFA is an incredibly corrupt, rich, and powerful organization. This includes the former President of FIFA.He is in the exact same boat as Trump and shouldn’t be held up as some moral beacon.

When Trump was inaugurated I cut pictures and list of attendees out of the newspaper and sat down with my 2 teenagers and explained we live in an oligarchy. We reviewed everyone who attended and what they owned and what organizations they ran so they would be well aware who was going to get favorable treatment.

It isn’t some secret who is going to get favorable treatment from our dictator Trump. FIFA President Gianni Infantino attended Donald Trump's inauguration. He expressed gratitude for the support shown by Trump towards FIFA.

A few more of these incidents and foreigners may start changing their minds about attending the World Cup in the US.

This is common treatment. Read the reports from the Koreans. It is just a matter of time before the body count in side these detention camps come out.

Several of my soccer mad family members are not attending. Ones in the US already, as well as ones planning to travel to the US. Recent events have just confirmed to them that they've made the right call.

The Montreal Canadiens, who play in Minneapolis on Monday night, have been told to stay inside their hotel at all times, take the team bus rather than walk, and carry passports.

“Perhaps we shouldn’t be hosting the World Cup and the Olympics,” one Bluesky commenter wryly noted.

I have a bunch of family from Europe who have been planning on coming and have canceled because of how "terrifying" the US is now.

Great work, Trump!

We did not get any of the FIFA lottery tickets we signed up for. Everything else is sold out other than going to the secondary market. So much for a boycott
