Somewhere in the World There's Always a Sportsballs

FORMER IRISH OLYMPIC swimming coach George Gibney, who is facing up to 79 charges, including attempted rape, relating to the alleged sexual abuse of four girls in Ireland, has agreed to be extradited from the US to Dublin.

Gibney, who was arrested in Florida last week, has withdrawn his application to contest his extradition ahead of a court appearance tomorrow, according to court documents seen by The Journal.

The 77-year-old was living in the US for 30 years and was wanted for 79 alleged sexual assault offences, 78 for indecent assault and one for attempted rape, against four girls between 1 January 1971 and 14 August 1974.

Apparently there was a final in that FIGA tournament in the US and one oligarch’s team beat another’s and Donald Trump stole the trophy!

This whole thing really tells you something about our present historical moment, doesn’t it?

I saw a TikTok from a Chelsea player complaining about how Trump was inserting himself into the whole celebrations.

And now I see that Chelsea have removed him from the photographs!

Actually you can just see him there. They just picked one after Infantino had pulled him to the back. Pity. Would have been nice if they’d just shopped him out!

Nah. No foreign teams showing up at all and the subset of the US team that made it through the ICE picket line just standing around in mostly empty stadiums for a month would make for unforgettable visuals.

“No foreign teams showing up [after the first two to arrive were arrested at the border for no adequately explained reason] and …”

The first might have been a fluke, the second establishes a pattern.
