    A Somali referee, who was set to become the first person from his country to officiate at a World Cup, has been denied access to the US and will not work at the tournament.

    Fear not. He will officiate at a future World Cup regardless. I’m glad it won’t be at such a shitty World Cup, and he won’t have to endure questions about America and Trump every time his history-making accomplishment is brought up. At this point, I hope he refuses even if his “status” magically changes.
