noooo

Ah yes FIFA. Happy to talk about inclusivity while it's good for pr and ad revenue. But as soon as it inconveniences their corrupt buddies suddenly it will get you a fine or ban. Can an organization be more blatantly corrupt? Maybe the IOC?

So either racism has gone away or FIFA is A-OK with it now.

Sorry for artstyle

I mean FIFA kinda thrives on, if not racism, nationalism. I mean sports in general tend to gear thinking in that way. Not always to a problematic level but anyone with family or friends who super into sports knows what I'm saying here

FIFA sucks and always has

Flashback: Once upon the time, 2014, the DFB (German football association) required the FC St. Pauli to "neutralise" their grounds as they were having the national team as guests for training before their friendly against Poland. As far as the club understood the thing, that meant obscuring all the sponsor ads, fair enough. The DFB interpreted it differently: Also any and all political slogans shall be obscured, and St. Pauli, famously, sports a big "Kein Fußball den Faschisten" in the stadium, installed permanently. ("No football for fascists" -- as in they're not supposed to have any at all, not this football isn't for them). The DFB then improvised and, with limited means, covered the slogan to read "no football". It was a draw, nil nil. Uninspired, one might say.

For comparison: Brazil had to suspend its law that forbids alcohol on stadiums for the 2014 World Cup.

From "No racism" to "No "no racism"": America's great again!!!

This reminded me that this clip exists.
