That’s basically all there is to it.
Fuck their bigotry and everybody else’s too.

<batman voice> But if you intolerate an intolerant, the number of intolerants in the world remains the same - mostly because they’re stupid asshats and won’t change their ways

And then kill themselves in retaliation for it. Yes.

You want to play on the world stage you get to play with all the rules, even the ones you don’t like.

"In a statement on Wednesday to The Athletic, FIFA said it considers this World Cup to be an “inclusive event” "

Meanwhile Iran’s team has to travel back and forth to Tijuana every night to sleep because they’re not allowed to stay in the US

They may have given him a fake award, but that’s not enough to tell the US what to do. The federal government is responsible for the Iranians.
