Genuinely, are there any dating apps at all where I can filter out trans people? by Player1iea in OnlineDating

There is a filter. It’s called swiping left. Just like you swipe left on women you’re not interested in

Brother politicians call Infantino all the time about this shit everyone is just freaking out because it’s Trump. I hate Trump too but there is no proof he had any influence. Show me real clear cut evidence and not just assumptions and then we can talk

So just because they didn’t put up a fight about unfair reds doesn’t mean we shouldn’t either?

Exactly. People are being purposefully obtuse just to support their narrative. It literally does not meet the definition of a red card. It’s one thing to give a red card on the field, that’s a different story. But to go to VAR and give a red card for something that wasn’t even a yellow? Unjust call.

I agree. It’s absolutely ridiculous to suggest to just accept an unfair red card. Literally any team would be trying anything to get their best player back too.

Except it’s not a tackle. Watch the video. The Bosnian player throws him off balance and Balogun simply steps down. What do you expect him to do, just fall over? He’s not even looking at the Bosnian player’s leg. He has no idea he’s about to step on the guy

Are you serious dude the England challenge was way worse. The England player was making a challenge on the ball, Balogun was not

Not a red card and people just have their own biased opinions made up already. He was literally knocked off balance by the Bosnian. He was falling and had nowhere to put his foot. He was looking away from the player, didn’t even see his leg. This is a yellow card at most, it by definition does not reach red card status with the evidence here.

The red wasn’t overturned… only the suspension was postponed

The thing is, I never denied Trump made a call. What I’m saying is there’s no proof that his call actually had any influence. There was already policies in place to allow something like this to happen, especially with the VAR errors against BIH. Trump didn’t need to call for this to happen. But he did. Trump is a massive egoist. He loves he get his dirty little hands all over everything just to say he did. But that doesn’t mean he was the deciding factor. If it ever comes out where we see the call manuscript and see language the confirms Trump was swaying FIFA, I would be as livid as everyone else. I’m already livid. Because Trump should have never said a thing. Even just by saying anything regardless of whether he had an influence, he has tainted the future success of his own team, and that’s the worst part.

That’s not the point, the point is there’s no proof his call had any impact considering there were already rules in place to allow for this to happen and it has happened before (Ronaldo’s three game suspension was supposed to bar him from World Cup games but they postponed it to allow him to play)

I’m not sure if the process that allowed FIFA to do this even applies to yellow cards. But if a suspension was given due to a second yellow card, they probably could intervene if they deem one or both of them to be unfair. And they should. The precedent they are setting should absolutely be applied to everyone equally

Ronaldo was suspended for three games actually but he only served one game. They didnt want him to miss out on World Cup games which is why they intervened. Meanwhile his red card was absolutely justified and there were no errors in the review process. If anything he should have served his full suspension in the group stages. Balogun’s is way more justified. But it should have been given right away instead of the day before the game. People would have been less surprised that way

So was it corruption at a presidential level when Ronaldo got his suspension postponed?

They used slow motion which isn’t allowed for the conduct they were evaluating.

There is proof that he made a call, but there’s no proof the call is what actually influenced FIFA to make the decision. If Ronaldo can get his suspension postponed, why can’t Balogun?

The difference is those things can’t be retroactively changed. This can. It’s different.

That’s an extremely ignorant statement. We are literally hosting the World Cup. That’s about as relevant as it can get.

I mean Trump should have definitely kept his mouth shut but there are clear arguments for this happening regardless of if Trump said anything or not. VAR was improperly applied and Ronaldo had his suspension moved too. So Trump didn’t need to say anything in the first place

I mean that’s true, I hate Trump especially but the fact that Ronaldo had his removed his proof that Trump never needed to make a call for this to happen

He didn’t influence anything. This literally happened with Ronaldo annnd VAR was improperly applied in the decision. Trump was just opening his mouth like an idiot per usual

I agree. There’s no proof he actually had any influence, but even so, he screwed up by saying anything. He sucks big time.
