#NoOlympics
Had to go across town today to see my GP. Coming back and driving along the inner city bypass and seeing the awful devastation that has been wrought on Barrambin/Victoria Park.

Fuck I hate the Crisafullashit government and the Olympics even more. Fucking vandals. #noolympics

Berlin won’t be getting the Olympics. The German Olympic Federation (DOSB) says rival bids from Munich and Cologne-Rhine-Ruhr for 2036, 2040 or 2044 are better.

(To be more specific, they’re “sehr gut,” Berlin is only “gut” according to an evaluation committee.)

So Mr Cristafulli who IS going to build the olympic venues, given you've banned all CMFEU and union members from partcicpation?

Seems like you have just put the kiss of death on our olympic bid!

Personally I think that would be a good thing. The State and BCC can't afford it anyway.

One man’s alleged friend of “really bad people” is another man’s UEFA Super Cup referee. UEFA announces Somali Omar Artan will referee the game between PSG and Aston Villa after his World Cup dreams were crushed by US immigration officials.

Unconscionable: ICE deported one the organizers of the Union of People Kidnapped by ICE, Rogelio Bolufe Izquierdo, after he organized a hunger strike at the Tacoma, WA. detention camp. Bolufe Izquierdo is a Cuban national. They deported him to Guayaquil, Ecuador.

Berlins Regierung hat Geld dafür übrig, beschissene Grafitis auf Häuserfassaden pinseln zu lassen.

"Berlin gewinnt mit Olympia"

Niemand gewinnt mit Olympia.

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs.

It's terribly backward.

It's also counterproductive.

Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

NO COUNTRY that hosts an international sports event should be allowed to deny entry to its competitors.

It’s CHEATING by immigration chicanery.

ONLY FIFA or IOC should have the authority to deny participation to an athlete, staff or official.

Any country that refuses that should not get to host

“In 2025, we suffered the largest decline in international tourism in over two decades, with four million fewer visitors than 2024 and $8 billion in lost income for American businesses.”
New in PN: A noxious orange cloud looms over the World Cup

"At the heart of the event lies a dispiriting contradiction: The Cup is supposed to unite the world in a spirit of joy, yet it’s being hosted by a xenophobic, bigoted president who has done everything he can to shut US doors to the world."

FIFA is somehow worse than the NFL and yes I may regret this post.
FIFA has now confirmed that Artan will no longer be able to officiate at the World Cup, which like for players, is the biggest moment in the lives of referees. FIFA has said it is nothing to do with them, but a decision made by US authorities and that the decision is not likely to be changed.

I am increasingly hoping the World Cup is an absolute disaster, with tepid games, empty stadiums and protests galore.

Maybe, just maybe, they will then realise that ‘football without fans is nothing’.

And we can fire Infantino, and his ilk, into the Sun.

Ive never known a World Cup with so little buzz or excitement.

FIFA have managed to turn the biggest, most highly anticipated sporting occasion in the world, into something that people have very little interest in watching on TV, let alone attend in person.

Very clearly ICE has become so violent and lawless that it, as an agency, no longer is trusted. It is beyond reform. ICE will need to be closed and its officers and agents prosecuted for murder, kidnapping, and other felonies. A new way of seeing immigration has to be found.
