Zohran Mamdani—a real-deal soccer aficionado & magnetic political force—is the right guy to lead the charge against FIFA. For too long, FIFA has been “fully focused on monetizing the sport, no matter the collateral damage,” as @leanderalphabet.bsky.social put it www.theguardian.com/football/202...

FIFA is a parastate that acts like a parasite, treating World Cup hosts like its own private Vegas buffet. Zohran Mamdani’s has a chance to challenge FIFA, grounding the fightback in his politically effective crisis-of- affordability approach targeting the 1% www.theguardian.com/football/202...

"The pushback against Republican leadership, that's the thread common to all the victories from coast to coast, north to south, be it federal, be it state, be it mayoral races, school board races, referendums, you name it, the voters came out and voted against Republicans"

"Tax exemptions allow Fifa to suck vast amounts of money out of its hosts. The majority of the cost of preparing the tournament falls on hosts, while Fifa pockets all the revenue [from] broadcasting & marketing rights"said @ncgeehan.bsky.social @fairsq.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/football/202...
