2016 was sort of that last era of monoculture where we still consumed things in community.
Everybody wanted to be Beyonce at that point.
I don't think we'll ever see another Rihanna.
Hello everyone and welcome to It Could Happen Here.
My name is Danelle Curd and I'm a researcher and analyst of Arab and Palestinian politics.
Today I want to talk about football, soccer, whatever.
And I'll just start by saying, obviously, FIFA is a terrible, terrible organization.
And while there are many heartwarming events in this World Cup, the World Cup gets me, gets a lot of us, despite everything.
There have also been egregious incidents against players and referees and fans from the Global South.
Take, for example, what happened to the Somali referee who wasn't allowed to come into the U.S.
to do his job.
He was kept hours and hours in the airport before being unceremoniously returned to Somalia.
Similarly, the head of the Palestine Football Association was denied a visa into the United States, not allowed to come to the World Cup on U.S.
soil.
This is in spite of the fact that FIFA invited association heads from around the world to attend.
And he did attend the opening game in Mexico City.
Or, one of the worst incidents, if you can call it that, the way that the Iranian team has been treated.
They weren't allowed to stay in the U.S., despite the games they were playing in this country, were constantly made to fly back to Mexico after every game.
Clearly, they were put at a severe disadvantage because they weren't allowed to rest and recuperate like the other teams.
And listen, I'm not going to say it is a conspiracy, but having not one but three goals discounted by VAR, eventually leading to their elimination from the tournament, just adds insult to injury.
