Everything that fifa does is to try and make as much money as possible off of the game , no matter what injustice this perpetuates , from displacement of the poor right up to genocide .
They banned russia from all competitions , but not the fascist state of israel ?
This is the hypocritical logic they use :
FIFA swiftly suspended Russia in 2022 to safeguard the integrity of its competitions, as European nations refused to play them. Conversely, FIFA has refused to ban Israel, citing that it cannot resolve geopolitical conflicts. Furthermore, both the Israeli and Palestinian associations comply with FIFA regulations, preventing a sporting collapse. [1, 2, 3]
What a copout pile of shit .
So , as much as I despise the organization , I will watch the competition , but I will seek out alternative methods of doing so , and have also purchased cheaper shirts from alternate sources .
It's all possible in this day and age ! Enjoy .
