FIFA president Gianni Infantino is abandoning his divisive plan to sell World Cup profits to private equity after receiving pushback from all corners of the soccer world. Infantino’s decision came after his senior adviser, who sat on a White House panel, resigned and Asia’s soccer body joined Europe and North America in opposing it. UEFA’s 55-member nations agreed to boycott the World Cup and all other FIFA competitions over Infantino’s plan, followed by CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation.
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham says rallies supporting her opposition to transgender participation in women’s sports aren’t distracting her or her teammates. Small demonstrations were held outside recent Fever games in Portland and Seattle, with another planned in Minneapolis, while Cunningham says she was not involved but supported participants’ freedom of speech. Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton was fined and handed a five game suspension after an exchange with two Cunningham supporters, prompting the team to apologize and reaffirm its commitment to a respectful environment.
