Arsenal 25/26 EPL Champions

wanting a player to do well and at the same time wanting his country to sink into the ocean #worldcupstruggles

i'm happy that vozinha's mom will be able to come to the rest of his matches, but let's not forget that this is a pr-driven intervention that leaves the structures that prevented her from attending his first game in place. thousands of fans are still required to pay exorbitant "visa bonds" while other countries' fans are completely prohibited from attending. not to mention the iranian team being forced out of the country immediately following their matches, or the iraqi player who was interrogated for seven hours when he arrived in america.

i feel like i should have been more explicit: haiti, cote d'ivoire, and senegal fans all faced travel bans from the trump administration that prevented fans from traveling to the games. this is racism, plain and simple. and gianni infantino, who in the past was happy to bring his power to bear to get visa guarantees for fans during russia 2018, is content to stand by and watch this happen, because he's a trump crony who doesn't care about anything but money.
