FIFA, shown to be more concerned about money than principles. But, then again, the fans aren’t much better. And people wonder why change is so hard to instigate.

“But it's all the same/I could have foreseen/That you would act like you are/Oh, so cool, you seem
/Blending with that scene/Wearing what you think is heart (…) I can see you struggling/Boy, don't hurt your brain/Thinking what you're gonna say/'Cause everything's a game/Always trying to calculate/Trying to look smart but not too smart/To threaten anything they say/ Ohh oh oh oh oh
Woahh” , “Brain” by Banks.

Personal beliefs, Politics and those pushing narratives should not be using football to push their ideas. Keep football free of these pushing it.
