I only recognise one king. Eric Cantona.

Also fan of 1.FC Köln, Utah Jazz, Detroit Red Wings, and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Sport IS political.

FIFA's World Cup ticket prices are a betrayal to the most dedicated fans. At least $6900 to support your team from the first match to the final - nearly 5 times more than in Qatar.

FSE calls for the immediate halt to ticket sales.

Casey Wasserman is the nepo-baby in charge of the 2028 Summer Olympics in LA. Protest this man’s steps, please.
LA28 chair Casey Wasserman met with Benjamin Netanyahu today who "thanked him for his great support for the State of Israel."

At the meeting Wasserman "told the Prime Minister that his leadership in the last two years makes him proud to be a Jew."

Sorry, World Cup/Super Bowl/Olympics tourists. LAPD is still free to shoot & gas you if you’re too rowdy celebrating your team for their liking.
On Tuesday December 2, the Los Angeles City Council shut down a proposal that would have restricted the LAPD’s use of tear gas and 40 millimeter foam rounds against protestors and people in Los Angeles.

@shoton35mm.bsky.social shares more details on the falied proposal.

If you’re reading this from overseas and thinking about coming to the US for the World Cup, stay home. It’s not safe here.

ICE is going to be trolling around these places. They’ll be under orders to harass anybody who isn’t white and at least third generation Americans.

Seriously. Don’t come.

US President Donald Trump was just awarded the newly created “FIFA Peace Prize.”

But his administration’s appalling human rights record certainly does not display “exceptional actions for peace and unity.”
