‘Today I feel gay, I feel disabled': Fifa president Gianni Infantino at World Cup
Спорт
Fifa president Gianni Infantino claimed “today I feel gay” as he scolded Western media for giving “moral lessons” over the controversial Qatar World Cup.
In a bizarre hour-long monologue, Infantino lashed out at the World Cup’s critics for hypocrisy, claimed “nobody cares” about disabled people, and compared his own childhood experience of being bullied to the suffering of workers and others at the hands of the Qatari regime.

Truly one of the speeches
I lived in the Middle East for many years and travelled to Qatar on many occasions. It came as no surprise that they were awarded the WC with Blatter involved. This was all about money nothing more. FIFA have disgraced football. Why are they still around? Well why did they give Tony ‘the war criminal’ Blair a knighthood? The answer is that these people don’t even bother to hide their contempt for us anymore.
