FIFA is an absolute disgrace

While their leader Infantino is kissing drumpf's butt and handing out made up peace awards, the people he is supposed to be representing (the world cup players, coaches and referees) are begin abused, harassed, and barred entry to the United states. A leader NOT lining his pockets with kickbacks and bribes for the likes of drumpf would have long ago worked with Canadian and Mexican authorities on moving the world cup out of the USA. Instead FIFA turns a blind eye to drumpf's atrocities and in fact celebrates him.

I feel bad that such grand game beloved by billions is represented by such a corrupt organization that loves thair money more than the game.
