NEW: FIFA has been criticized by multiple anti-discrimination campaigners after deciding to roll back its anti-racism messaging during Club World Cup in US. “This looks like FIFA ditching its principles in an effort to keep President Trump onside.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

To be fair to ditch, principles you’d have to have them in the first place

The rot goes a lot deeper than pleasing trump at FIFA. Just look at the last world cup!

Also: FIFA did not consult the European Clubs Association, who partnered with FIFA to commercialize the Club World Cup, on their campaigns for the tournament & FIFPro (who represent players) were not informed of changes. www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

Why have UEFA agreed to go along with this farce of a tournament? Is it really worth the Saudi money?

Wow, something I would not expect FIFA to be criticised for is ditching its principles
