With the World Cup coming up this month, the FIFA president informed the press to try to keep this World Cup about football and not politics.
This World Cup has been one the most controversial World Cups to have ever taken place. Because of this many teams have committed to wearing heart-shaped arm bands or doing something to stand against the rules of FIFA.
With many other issues that FIFA pushed aside, they want to remind the fans and visitors of the World Cup, that they are there to watch football, not judge the morality of others.
I believe this is not news, because it is not something new for FIFA to make scummy decisions. FIFA is known for being a corrupt organization and this is just another example.
The audience for this article is soccer fans, but all sports fans because the World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the entire world.

I don’t follow FIFA, but it does seem that people like to hate on the commissioner (or the ruling body, or whoever is in charge). And it is a “world” sport and has a huge audience. People want to know.
