'MAGA agenda on display': FIFA, Trump slammed amid Balogun red card row The recent reversal of Folarin Balogun's red card by FIFA has sparked a firestorm in the football world.
The decision, which many experts describe as a "dangerous precedent," is not just an anomaly in football rule making but also a symptom of a broader issue: the increasing blurring of lines between politics and sport.
US President Donald Trump's involvement in the affair has been widely reported, with sources claiming that he urged FIFA chief Gianni Infantino to review the case.
