Giuliani, that name sounds familiar...

Of course the players can say what they want, nobody is saying they can't. It just so happens that they are voluntary members of an organization that has a set of rules which is not related to the US constitution.

This is prime political shithousery

The Whitehouse saying that is the biggest endorsement of why it was wrong.

    The Argentine Football Association (AFA) should face sanctions for this as FIFA’s rules are unequivocal about political messaging: It's not allowed, period.

    Does awarding a man-baby president a made-up peace prize count as political messaging?

    It's literally just a poster board sign.

    Nothing has actually happened to take sides on.
