Top human rights group challenges FIFA over Trump and 2026 World Cup
https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-fifa-world-cup-2026-gianni-infantino-us-canada-mexico/

Quote:

FIFA is facing mounting pressure about the 2026 World Cup in North America after a top human rights organization said it has "grave concerns" about the Trump administration's border policies affecting the tournament.

Human Rights Watch urged FIFA President Gianni Infantino to be "prepared to reconsider the hosting decision" if the safety of fans and players can't be guaranteed, according to a letter seen by POLITICO.

Quote:

But Human Rights Watch worriedly detailed Trump's potential visa bans on some countries, the possibility of detention, interrogation and denial of entry at the U.S. border, "prohibitively" long visa waiting times, new laws targeting LGBTQ+ people, and the potential for "chilling limits" on free speech and peaceful protest as policies threatening the competition.
uhm, no new laws, just stop grooming children.

Babylon Bee is becoming less and less fake news than the real fake news.
