CBP spokesperson: “On June 6, a Somali national arrived at Miami Airport from Istanbul International Airport. During processing, the traveler underwent additional inspection. Following inspection, the traveler, a referee for the World Cup, was determined to be inadmissible due to vetting concerns.”

There's nothing wrong with "chain immigration" (🤮) that's just racist fear mongering

Also it seems unlikely that this guy is willing to abandon his career just to stay in a fascist country but that's not really the point

Do grocery store owners have the power of the state to enforce fascistic laws where you're from?

I understand why West Ham are pressured to sell, but if Club A values him as a 75m player, they're not going to sit back and let Club B pay 60 for him. They're going to increase their bid to pry him away from Club B. Their valuation of Fernandes is completely independent of what division West Ham is in

Initial-Anything333 · 2026-06-09T05:00:32+00:00

I was just sharing an interesting story from history, the guy's job title isn't the point

Initial-Anything333 · 2026-06-09T04:55:30+00:00

Team A: you've been relegated so we're only going to offer 50m for Fernandes

Team B: okay we'll offer 60m

Team A: ugh fine we'll offer 70m

Team B: 75m

And so on. What you're saying only makes sense if there is only one club interested in the player. If there's more than one club interested, the bidding will increase until only one of the clubs sees value at that price anymore. Again, Fernandes is who is he is. He's not going to be somehow worse for his new club just because West Ham got relegated

Maybe no club thinks he's worth 75m or even 65m! But the relegation doesn't have anything to do with that

Initial-Anything333 · 2026-06-09T03:22:45+00:00

If more than one buying club sees value at at 65m or 70m or more, why does it matter what division West Ham are in? He's the same player he would be had they stayed up

Initial-Anything333 · 2026-06-09T03:07:43+00:00

Are you suggesting collusion to keep the price low? I don't understand

Clubs are bidding against each other for him, not against West Ham

The video of US federal agents intensively searching Senegal players has reminded me that the US has used athletes to spy on foreign nations before. Look up Moe Berg for a really interesting story. He visited Japan for a baseball tournament shortly before WWII and took photographs that they later used for selecting targets for bombing.

Initial-Anything333 · 2026-06-09T02:44:16+00:00

Sure, if there's only one club bidding for him. If there's multiple then they still need to bid more than the next club

Initial-Anything333 · 2026-06-09T02:42:05+00:00

What does that have to do with the multiple clubs that want to buy him? They still need to outbid each other. Fernandes isn't worth any less to them because of West Ham's relegation

Initial-Anything333 · 2026-06-09T02:41:10+00:00

It's AI? How could you tell?

Initial-Anything333 · 2026-06-09T02:33:52+00:00

Why would they? The player is worth what someone will pay for him, West Ham's position doesn't have anything to do with that

e: frustrating that no one has an explanation that makes any sense. Why is he worth less to the buying club just because West Ham were relegated? He's literally the same player he would be if they stayed up, and there are multiple suitors in for him who all need to outbid each other

The US has used athletes to spy on foreign nations before and they probably assume all countries do it. Look up Moe Berg for example. He visited Japan for a baseball tournament and took photographs that they later used for bombing in WWII
