    Yes, laws are laws but they are also subjective to who you are or know. They apply loop-hole to nullify the crimes of the chosen few... Trump has been CONVICTED for 34 felonies, some sexual. Prince Andrew is facing Epstein s ...

    Partey has not been CONVICTED of any crime. This is Government interferance. I thought goverment interferance was against FIFA rules.

  • Kweku Tsin 3 weeks ago

    What proof do you need? Partey at this point is innocent until adjudicated and proven guilty. Canada is engaging in selective enforcement of the law. Mike Tyson is a convicted felon of sexual assault. Snoop Dogg and many othe ...
