Just to ruin this whole thing with politics, though, I mean, President Trump understands the scale of the stage, right?

He's got this preternatural understanding for the role that sports plays in culture.

As we talk today, I think he's preparing to fly up to New York for the next game.

Do we know, like, does he deliver remarks at any of these events?

Is he going to attend games?

Like, what do we know about his participation?

President Trump is both head of state and also famously won the FIFA Peace Prize.

So maybe he could invite the new Iranian supreme leader to the U.S.

to sit next to him at a game and we could have another moment like the one you just described.

I'm just pitching ideas.

Yeah.
