🟥 RED CARD FOR FIFA
Dear Mr. Infantino,
My son plays football.
Every Saturday, he steps onto the pitch because he loves the game.
Before a new football season begins for millions of young players around the world, I have three questions I simply cannot answer.
Maybe you can.
1. How was I supposed to take my son to a World Cup game with ticket prices like these?
2. How do I explain to him that a player gets a red card, the President calls the President of FIFA — and suddenly that player can play the next game?
3. How do I explain to him that some of the players he is supposed to look up to can end a World Cup final fighting — in front of millions of children watching — and will probably still be back on the pitch as if little happened?
Millions of young players around the world watched that final. They watched their heroes.
Every weekend, parents and coaches teach them to respect the referee, accept decisions, control themselves and respect their opponents.
The World Cup is supposed to be the greatest example of those values.
Instead, parents and coaches are left trying to explain why the examples children see at the very top of football seem to follow different rules.
So tell us, Mr. Infantino:
How are we supposed to explain that to our children?
Maybe this time, the red card shouldn't go to a player.
Hope to hear from you soon, Mr. Infantino.
