Infantinicidio en la FIFA

Infantinicidio en la FIFA

Gianni Infantino, presidente de la FIFA, estuvo en la Casa Blanca en la toma de posesión del presidente Donald Trump en el actual mandato. Ahí, sentándose en la mesa de los Bezos y los Zückerberg, entendimos que a la larga habría contrapartida. Meses después y viendo el disgusto de Trump por no ganar el Premio Nobel de la Paz, Infantino se inventó un galardón tan rimbombante como vacío de contenido para dárselo a Trump como consolación. Un trofeo estéticamente feo “por haber promovido la paz y la unidad en todo el mundo”. Ahí ya vimos que Infantino ya era algo más que un títere del hombre más poderoso del planeta. Durante el Mundial y ya antes del caso Balogun, Infantino había quedado retratado y descalificado. Veníamos de mundiales disputados en Rusia y en Qatar, donde los derechos y las libertades de aficionados y futbolistas se podían ver afectados. Pero todo fue como una seda en comparación con lo que está pasando en EE.UU. El maltrato a la expedición de Irán, que debía alojarse en México y no podía estar más de 24 horas en la ciudad norteamericana donde jugaba el partido, fue un ejemplo. Lo del árbitro somalí, Omar Artan, vetado y excluido del Mundial fue otra vergüenza de la que Infantino se lavó las manos. A uno de los mejores colegiados del mundo no le dieron de pitar, ni tan siquiera, algún encuentro en Mexico o en Canadá.

Marcellus Wiley responds to divorce allegations

Former NFL defensive end and ESPN/Fox personality Marcellus Wiley has found himself in a very public, and very ugly, divorce. It started over the weekend with his arrest for domestic battery and it continued on Monday, when his wife Annemarie filed for a divorce and sought a restraining order against him.

Her court filings made multiple allegations of rape against Wiley.

"I love my children with everything I am," Marcellus Wiley posted on Twitter. "My highest priority has always been protecting them and preserving the relationship they have with both of their parents. Because of the public allegations made against me by Annemarie, I have been forced to respond with evidence rather than emotion. More importantly, I owe it to my children to truthfully document what they and I have endured.

"To do that, I must address the lies Annemarie has told about me by telling the truth about her and our marriage. Over the years, I have compiled videos, photographs, text messages, emails, and other evidence that directly contradicts those baseless claims and provides a factual record of our family and the events leading to this unfortunate divorce. That record includes evidence of Annemarie’s repeated infidelity — including an affair with her pregnant friend’s husband —s erious and damaging parenting failures, a 'voodoo spell' she cursed over my family, as well as fans she claimed 'hated her' from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, along with many, many other unflattering documented events. To be frank, many friends, family members, and fans have opined that after she was kicked off The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she lost her mind! Unfortunately, I must agree.

"I never wanted my family’s issues and struggles to become public for any reason, including divorce leverage. But I unfortunately knew this day was inevitable. I was willing to endure anything — even hell itself — if it meant being with my children every single day. I am their hero, and now I am fighting to make sure the positive and real image they know of me is the one that endures.

"I am prepared to address these allegations and related matters through the legal process and with evidence. My focus remains on my children, my integrity, and the truth. Thanks for your understanding."

Now, the situation will play out in court, with two sharply different versions of reality. Regardless of who's telling the truth and who isn't, the situation is very sad for their children.
