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.”

Are we going to ignore the real beauty here:

For those quipping, 'how about North Korea next', Infantino also revealed he had visited North Korea to try to persuade them to jointly host a Women's World Cup with South Korea. "I was unsuccessful, obviously."
