The unfortunate story of the Somali referee represents a symbolic turning point in which the Trump administration definitively takes over the World Cup from FIFA.
A warm welcome and treatment looks different.

This year's tournament, which kicks off on Thursday, is suffering from a shameful organizational aftertaste. Paradoxically, it is a tournament before which US President Donald Trump last year said: ”We can't wait to welcome fans from all over the world.”

You might expect something similar at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where rules only apply when it suits you.
Similar problems would be more appropriate for the 2022 championship in Qatar, which is still getting acquainted with the concept of human rights.

I can see how worldwide devs might also be pretty pissed about it, while Gestapoland doesn’t register.
I don’t think of blocking a random tinpot country’s junta.
