Are Football Governing Bodies Bias?(a Nairalander Opinion) by Topmaike007(m): 11:12am On Apr 21, 2022
It is not news that Chelsea owner is banned and forced to sell his football club,all because his president is conducting military operation in Ukraine and now the UCL final that is scheduled to take place in Russia next month will no longer hold because of it..

Now what baffles me a lot now is that around 2016 Celtics was fine almost 8k Pounds for flying Palestinians flag in solidarity for the people of Palestinians that lost their lives.
https://www.espn.co.uk/football/celtic/story/2961926/celtic-receive-uefa-fine-for-flying-palestine-flags-in-ucl-match

Reasons UEFA fined Celtics was that they shouldn't meddle politics with football.

Now same UEFA and FIFA are breaking there own rules in support of Ukraine and hereby punishing Russia Athletes.

They banned the final from Russia because Russia is not a safe place to be for now, they banned Russia from all international sports not just football because the UN Didn’t support them going to war with Ukraine, u.k government took Chelsea from the owner and not football body for having dealings with Putin

NATO controls everything including football. If you stand for their own they claim football should not be mixed with politics. But the moment is against them they started mixing politics and football. Useless hypocrites

According to your logic.
Did NATO and the US get UN approval for the Kosovo war? Did the US get UN approval for the Iraq/Saddam war?
Did the UK government seize Chelsea from Abramovich while he was donating money to an illegal Israeli settler group that forcibly relocates Palestinians?
No matter what. Don't mix politics with football they said.
The world is fully of disparity in treatment.
Football is owned by the West, and it will dictate the narrative in order to further its own interests.

I hate their double standard too.
The world need to become more multipolar and less Western-centric.
A country can just be dictating for everyone.

So much hypocrisy. So how come they did not ban Israeli teams from playing in European competitions or bar isreal from sports altogether, or did the UN support the killings of Palestinians by Israel?

This is one of the reasons it is wrong to support the US no matter how saintly they try to paint themselves. Recently, Solomon Islands signed a military pact with China. See how they did everything possible to scuttle the plan, used Australia and at the last hour sent two envoys to derail the signing. Thesame people will turn around and shout sovereignty should be respected to Russia, while calling out foreign meddling. Meanwhile, Asian teams refused playing regional football against isreal, but our hypocritical UEFA adopted isreal a middle eastern country into European football.
