We’re not saying that if your team is homophobic, you’ll lose, but we ARE saying that being homophobic makes you a loser.

FIFA just invented its Peace Prize for President Trump. But this is the story of the innocent professional soccer player and youth coach that this administration had disappeared and tortured. Now Jerce Reyes is free — and talking to PTFO: youtu.be/vlz3eGwHZBY?...

Proud Lilywhites, Tottenham's LGBTQ+ supporters association, says Slavia Prague has asked the club to take down a Progress Flag ahead of tonight's Champions League game over "security concerns" As the first reply on Reddit says: "Hope our matchgoing fans are extra gay in protest"

This is incredibly sad- and unforgivable.

Thinking of Grant Wahl today & sending love to his family, former peers & those who loved his writing. Last night I found something I wrote after his passing, with help from @meglinehan.com & @jtannenwald.bsky.social. I published it today, as a small tribute. www.linkedin.com/pulse/grant-...

We still can’t believe that fascist fever dream we watched yesterday.

A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award. And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

Pay attention to how media covers this draw. Who calls out the issues and which ones gloss over it. Plenty of sports outlets are quite ready to play along with FIFA & Trump and they do not deserve neither your time nor your money. #worldcupdraw

Yup. apple.news/ASkRfqKvJQt6...

And (potentially, but probably not) fucking Italy?!

What would your name be if Wayne Gretzky pronounced it?

Shame they didn’t let actual soccer broadcasters that have dedicated their careers to the sport do it.

Just a couple of strangers sitting next to each other, likely not discussing anything but the Men's World Cup Draw, for sure!

I wrote about Infantino’s love of despots years ago but that peace prize is such a shameless example of what he is and what he wants to do with the sport www.instagram.com/stories/zeet...

This whole thing is giving us the ick.

So the US is just getting countries it's beaten in friendlies this year? Totally random, very cool.

We’re already seeing “no THIS is the group of death” and god, we’re so tired.

How many colonizer clásicos are we gonna get this tournament

Nation's Racists Announce Plan To Unite Behind USMNT Until They Lose www.thenutmegnews.com/current/2025...

Canadá and Switzerland in the same group means that at least @sonjamissio.bsky.social will give us some good content.

It’s not even So-Bad-it’s-Fun. It’s just…so bad.

What if we told you those are all Trump’s hands?

This wildly tacky World Cup draw is a grimly fascinating preview of what happens if the aesthetics of fascism finally get their way.

What if I told you the draw has been on for 90 minutes and no one knows anything about the World Cup groups

I cannot watch any more sketches or listen to Heidi and Kevin pretend to be excited about Infantino. JUST PUT THE BALLS IN THE POT FFS

all of this in a city that's occupied and airing from the shell of an arts institution that this admin has destroyed

There is a very serious point to be made here on a mere football organisation publicly pushing such politicised interpretations of global diplomatic deals and talks.

Presidenta Sheinbaum, si podrías pisarles a Trump con tus tacones….

Okay but the song and the peace prize video were totes written by ChatGPT, right?

I wish Carli was on BlueSky just so we all could get blocked by her again for old times' sake 😂

Just in case it needs to be said again... #worldcupdraw

This is World Cup will go down with the most shameful and corrupt in history. And that says a lot, considering FIFA’s history. theworld.org/stories/2013...

Gianni Infantino's greatest skill as the FIFA president is ensuring proceedings are as cringeworthy as possible - the only thing he never fails at

Heidi Klum and Kevin Hart, noted soccer fans. Actually we’re fine it, their height and outfit disparity are making us laugh.

It’s going well.

THIS IS SOMEHOW WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT?!? Sadder and stupider and yuckier?!?!

i know it has been made fun of constantly (and, please, keep doing so) ... but it cannot be overstated how INSANE it is that FIFA have anointed themselves as the arbiters of PEACE to give out this made up peace award to trump

So much relevance! Look at all these Incredibly Soccer Players who are not at all political choices!

In a couple of hours Gianni Infantino will be handing him a peace prize.

Do we watch the World Cup draw to categorize all of its corruption and inanities? Do we drink through it?

THIS COUNTRY SHOULD NOT HOST THE WORLD CUP

And for once it'd be easy to solve, but then FIFA would have to care, or like... have morals 😬🤐

NWSL and WNBA also attract a variety of sportwashing that imo is even more nefarious than the petrostate variety, which is assholes who want to present themselves as Women Respecters because they own a women's sports team

By continuing to allow the US to host the World Cup, FIFA and Infantino are complicit in criminal behavior. www.thetimes.com/us/american-...

plus, a little exclusive with the disgraced former FIFA president Sepp Blatter he’s not a fan of the 48-team World Cup and said FIFA is “too political” under the leadership of his successor, Gianni Infantino www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/...

FIFA no va a hacer nada pero CONMEBOL debería decir que la confederación no jugará en los EEUU cuando está atacando uno de sus países. FIFA won’t do shit but CONMEBOL should say that their confederation won’t play in the US while it’s attacking one of its countries.

"a worldview in which the worth of a human being is innately tied to their ability to pay for stuff." on infantino and trump. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Yet again, Olivia Moultrie rubbing her youth in our faces!

If FIFA has been unable to get a visa to enter the US for a member of its own competitions organizing committee, it doesn't bode well for fans at the World Cup. apnews.com/article/iran...
