which is fine, but

where do you - and who gets to - draw the line?

There are many, many folk who feel the current UK govt. (and a large number of its citizens), are guilty of homophobia, racism & sexism. Should UEFA have moved matches away from Wembley & Hampden?

Similarly, the vote to award the 2026 World Cup came during the Presidency of #45. If you follow this logic then surely FIFA should have excluded USA from bidding?
