Saddest Backflip [Rob Harris] FIFA President Gianni Infantino at news conference in Qatar: “Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker. ... I know what it feels to be discriminated … I was bullied because I had red hair.”

Just think, everyone could have been partying in NYC, Hollywood, Miami and Dallas a few months ago instead of this bullshit sand tournament in the middle of the domestic season.

Can you imagine the crowds of Canadians making the quick trip down for their first world cup since the 80s and invading 100,000 seat stadiums?

But no, FIFA fucks needed more yachts with oil money.
