Two notes on soccer...

  • First, a note about next month.  Same rules apply as Sochi.  Unless an LGBT-violent act occurs, I have to boycott the World Cup.  FIFA and the World Cup are usually very low-hanging fruit around here, but it's Russia -- and I think anyone who watches this this year (which is why my position that I am fucking glad the United States disgraced and got rigged their way out of this garbage still stands) had better understand what they are getting in to.
  • And, on a related note...  It starts with one Deadspin article about one Israeli soccer team in their professional league.
There is now a team in the top professional league of Israel called Beitar Trump Jerusalem.

And it's named exactly for who you think it is -- thank owner Eli Tabib and executive manager Eli Ohana.

Well, it's even LESS of a surprise with today's SECOND Deadspin article about the situation.

And it starts with an Arabic banner in their home stadium:  "BEITAR FOREVER PURE".

Racist as fuck, just like Trump.  No Arabs on the team, and if it's right-wing ultras have their way, never will have them.
