In our recent Op-Ed piece that appeared in the International Business Times (December 12, 2022), we stated: “You cannot keep politics out of sport, not on the world stage, not when it involves basic human rights, and certainly not when the governing bodies of those sports have their hands so deeply in governments’ pockets.” We were referring to #FIFA and the attempt of the organization to remove human rights issues from the #WorldCup and from the country of #Qatar.

We recall the song under the strangest of conditions, as the Houston Texans (currently at 1-9-1) prepare to take on the Cleveland Browns (at 4-7). The game, under normal conditions, would be a sleeper. You would clean the bathroom floor or check the dog for fleas during a game of this diminished magnitude. Caveat: I have […]
