ESPN mad as hell that Trump made a phone call and helped out the U.S.
If Obama had made some statement about the injustice of it and the exact same thing had happened, it would have been framed as a genius move.
Trump fricking this up as usual -- ESPN

Draw them into the light and make them explain why they’re opposed to what is pretty universally regarded as the right sports decision based on the rules and what also benefits America.

If you hate Trump more than you love America fine but that mindset needs to be pushed into the light of day for the squishy middle to see for themselves who the left has become.

From a no call to a red card was awfully drastic by the ref. Not even his fault as the system failed him too.

The stupid thing is Trump publicized it which made it look as corrupt as hell. It would look so much cleaner if they just kept it behind closed doors

Soccer fans are retarded. They all agree the foul wasnt a red card but they throw a shite fit when the call is corrected.

They could have avoided all of this by just giving red cards out in similar incidences.


Giving it out once and not having an appeals process looks like corruption.

Trump just said something like: Happy about the decision by FIFA to correct this injustice.
The networks were the ones who blew it up into 83 web, print and TV news stories about Trump communicating on behalf of Balogun.

Trump said nothing about that part.

So a secret meeting would look better than transparency.

DISNEY/ESPN

Disney is the problem. They purposely prop up little propaganda puppets like Jimmy Kimmel, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, and idiots on ESPN like Ryan Clark and Stevie Smith.

How do you keep a decision with clear public repercussions in the biggest sporting event in the world behind closed doors? There were already reports from the media before the decision was public that Trump had made a call. FIFA is widely known to be corrupt as hell. It was never going to look clean. From a fairness perspective, a no appeal process for potential referee malfeasance was already mega-shady. Non-Americans and whiny little bitches in country were going to sky scream about this no matter what. I’m not a super Trump guy, but if he got it done, let him take the credit.
