Hours before he announced his resignation, "former Mayor John Tory (ex-CEO of Rogers) signed a deal for #Toronto to pay $300-million to host 5 World Cup matches (at the stadium co-run by Rogers) and the deal is so secretive that Olivia Chow, the current Mayor of Toronto, can't even see it."

GENEVA (AP) — FIFA suspended Spanish soccer federation president Luis Rubiales on Saturday while its disciplinary committee investigates his conduct at the Women’s World Cup final, which included kissing player Jenni Hermoso on the lips after Spain’s victory.
Casual #soccer fans like me might wonder why final #WorldCup group-stage matches always start at the same time.
Well, that wasn't always the case... (Google this --> "Disgrace of Gijon 1982")
Before the change, teams could conspire and make "non-aggression pacts" or pre-match agreements to play to a draw or other favorable result for one or both teams, thereby guaranteeing their own advancement and sabotaging rival teams. Pure f**kery🤦🏿♂️
Ever time you think FIFA can't be more ridiculous, they surpass themselves. If you thought they couldn't surpass Qatar 2022, here comes 2030 in six different countries over three continents on both sides of the Atlantic. #football#MastodonFC#FIFAhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67010609
Hübsches Pink, aber davon abgesehen ist mir #Adidas vs #Nike völlig egal (Adidas' Geschichte während des NS sollte erwähnt werden.). Wichtiger finde ich, darauf hinzuweisen, dass die #FIFA ein gelinde gesagt dubioser Verband und der #DFB ein Teil davon ist und alle Nationalspieler in FIFA-Vereinen spielen.
Leaked documents from the #Kremlin reveal Vladimir #Putin’s regime is funding a massive AI-powered surveillance operation: facial recognition helps the Kremlin to look for “disloyal and destructive” individuals. This system was used to arrest people attending Alexei #Navalny’s funeral, and was previously tested on football fans during the 2018 World Cup in #Russia and the 2022 World Cup in #Qatar.
#Cardiac sequelae in athletes following COVID-19 vaccination: evidence and misinformation | British Journal of Sports Medicine https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/57/21/1400 “Currently, the available evidence does not support claims that #COVID19#mRNA#vaccination leads to an elevated risk of myocardial sequelae or #SCAD in athletes when compared to native #SARSCoV2 infection.”
“#FIFA has made a public statement reporting no notable increase in #SCAD based on the official FIFA registry. A recent Australian study investigating the prevalence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (#OHCA) following #COVID19 infection and vaccination in over 4million young individuals demonstrated no increase in OHCA rates or #myocarditis as a contributing factor to OHCA.”

Reminder that former #Toronto mayor John Tory's paramour just happened to snag a job organizing the #FIFA event after she left City Hall.
She was already in that position when Tory was taking part in council votes on the FIFA event.
Don't believe Tory suffered any repercussions after the Toronto integrity commissioner's ruling, tho.
