@supersolarnova: Soccer fans probably won’t even bat an eye at this. This is literally identity politics in action, conservatives denying a Somali man entry into the US BECAUSE he is Somali, no other reason. #fifa #worldcup #Soccer #somali #conservatives

Andre🐍🇺🇸 :

A. Somali isn't a race B. if they were discriminatory against somalis they would've denied the team and the entire staff. C. he can't be "unjustly removed" as the U.S government has the right to control their borders and deny entry to ANYONE under international law. D. A visa isn't a promise to enter the United States it is the ability to arrive at an airport and possibly be granted entry into the United States.

Somehow the US can break the rules but any other country has to follow them. FIFA is spineless.

Eoghan Tully :

Is anyone this news? We have been knowing FIFA is one the most corrupt companies.

itsDEATH3000 :

Somali referee Omar Artan was denied entry to the United States due to "vetting concerns" and "derogatory information," which U.S. officials claimed included an association with suspected members of terror organizations.

xCasper774 :

the denial was from Trump Administration not FIFA. He also banned 39 African nations to the US preventing them from attending

thebigboss :

it was a somali ref he had a visa and a diplomatic papers the fact he got denied entry is crazy like he has diplomatic rights he cant even be charged if he committed crimes he spent hours showing them all the paper work and videos of him referring and ice still barred entry

Abraham Keller :
