Football fans and clubs unite with Ukraine

This weekend we were all Ukrainian. We have seen the world of football come together to condemn Russia for making war. Players and teams pleaded for the war to stop. Yellow and blue were seen everywhere in support of the beleaguered nation. What a pity then that Fifa and Uefa have, over the years, drunk so deep from the Russian kool-aid. The World Cup was given to Russia through foul means. It only served to embolden Putin and look where that has led us. Gianni Infantino, Fifa president, even now, cannot bring himself to ban Russia and is twisting and turning to try and excuse them. Football needs better, democratic, and transparent modern administrative organisations. They have shown they cannot be trusted and should be disbanded.
