i still dont know what to make of the american official asking fifa to replace iran with italy. like clearly this person doesnt care about soccer. im not sure they understand how absurd their request was. i think this italian-american guy just got put mildly in charge of 'sports' and thought it would be really cool and normal and not massively offensive to everyone involved

@mari@monads.online The equivalent to that nonsense in the USA would be Trumpster going to the NFL brass just before the playoffs with: "Hey, 'yo, Robert (Goddell, the NFL Commish)? I don't like them Washington Commies....errrrrrrrrrrrrr, Commanders not restoring the Redskins name and mascot! Plus, Jayden Samuels is a DEI....ahhhh, I mean, he sucks at quarterbacking! How about you axe them and replace them with the Giants?"
