I might be misremembering, but wasn't one of the delays in getting at least this far an appeal in which the convicted confessed to the crime, but claimed some sort of cultural misunderstanding? If I'm not, doesn't that moot further appeals?

There is a group of people that believe they are put out by immigrants. Immigrants have never done anything to infringe on them. These people have been told that they have been left out b/c of immigrants taking from them. It’s been drilled into them to make them hate & want them gone.

My problem is that no matter how anodyne the language used, the RW Noise Machine will co-opt and twist it as the radical extreme. It's how they've moved the goalposts so that Ford would be a solid Dem today.

Accelerated climate change is real. My crazy solve for the dreaded "Hydration Breaks": At kickoff, if the wet bulb temperature is 85F, the 90 minutes of the match can be played in 3 segments of 30 minutes each. #fifa #lawsofthegame #soccer

They do not want to put one f-ing cent into the game that they are not guaranteed a manifold return on. And they expect "The Poors" to belly up for the privilege of filling their trough. I am so glad I stopped directly giving them my money a decade ago!

Carlos Cordeiro, Senior Advisor to Gianni Infantino quits, and urges other 'principled' people in FIFA to speak out against the sell-off plan. He also lays bare how unnecessary it is. 'The organisation sits on billions of dollars of reserves ...' 💵💵💵

As a Senior Advisor to the FIFA President, a former banker, and a lifelong football fan, I cannot stand by while FIFA considers selling a stake in the World Cup.
Let me be clear: I had no involvement in this proposal, and I oppose it unequivocally. It is a bad deal for FIFA's Member Associations, a bad deal for football, and a bad deal for the long-term future of the game.
Football has been central to my life, and after more than 35 years in banking, I understand both the value of this asset and the consequences of giving part of it away. That is why this proposal should be rejected.
FIFA already has access to extraordinary financial resources. The organization sits on billions of dollars in reserves and no debt. The FIFA President himself has highlighted the $15 billion in revenue generated between 2022 and 2026. If Member Associations believe additional investment is needed to develop the game, FIFA already has the financial capacity to provide that support from its existing resources. Against that backdrop, selling a permanent stake in football's most valuable asset to raise $4.2 billion makes little sense. It is mortgaging football's future without any compelling justification.

Most troubling of all is the absence of answers to fundamental questions. Why this deal? Why now? What oversight exists? Who benefits? Was there a competitive process? What governance will be in place? What will investors ultimately gain, and at what cost to football?

After careful consideration, I can no longer continue in my role as Senior Advisor to the FIFA President. I have therefore resigned with immediate effect.

It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve FIFA for more than five years & to work alongside dedicated, principled people who care deeply about the game. I hope they, too, will speak up, because decisions of this magnitude should be made in the interests of football, not those who stand to profit from it.

This confuses me. I assumed Soccer United Marketing is the hand up Gianni's back as he puppets the line to his "retirement fund". It just smells like MLS.

New in @josimarfootball.bsky.social. "It's only the West which goes after Infantino. The rest of the world doesn't care". Adjib Koulamallah, a magistrate and former Deputy GenSec of the Chadian Football Federation, disagrees. "Africa is silent because its silence has been budgeted for", he says.
