    Wow FIFA has managed to be slightly less shitty than two oppressive regimes.

          These are the people who gave Trump a “Peace Prize”, so this is a lot more likely to be a cheap image management PR stunt that’s acceptable for the corrupt crooks in FIFA because it doesn’t impact their personal upside maximization.

      The match was in Seattle. FIFA knew shit would go down if they told Seattleites to NOT fly rainbow flags. Portlanders would have driven (well, more likely rode their impractically designed bikes) up to Seattle to help protest.
