          It was a “gift” because he demanded it and the FIFA head allowed it after the fact.

          The players did not consent and was not aware he was going to steal it.

          This is retconning/gaslighting the situation, something he’s known the world over for doing.

          He’s fucking embarrassing. Stop simping for him. He doesn’t give two shits about you or anyone you care about.

            I like how you didn’t know the word, so you used two wrong words that have the same sort of gist! Haha

            Retconning is only for fiction. As for gaslighting, that would be pretty hard to prove…

            “Misrepresenting” might be a better word there

              We’re under siege by an actual fascist takeover, millions of people are being hurt, detained, starved, bombed, and killed; and you’re on here arguing about the colloquial use of retconning and claiming gaslighting is “hard to prove”? That’s the line in the sand you’re gonna draw?

              Jesus Christ, we’re fucking doomed.

            Nah, lead stories is legit. They’re just fact checking a different claim than what’s made in the independent’s article

              Would you like to enlighten us as to what this different claim is? For all us non-american and non-fifa fans this just looks like an argument between football hooligans and Americans

      The article is not saying he’s “stealing” it, so no, it is not fake news. You seam to have poor cognitive abilities, I hope that your deficiency gets better! Sending my thoughts and prayers to you!
