Unlike Warner’s emo Batman movie, this is something the average Russian actually gives a shit about.

Soccer’s international governing body has reversed course and announced that Russia will be banned from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
FIFA and the European association, UEFA, issued a joint statement on Monday confirming that Russia has been suspended until further notice, ESPN reported.
“Following the initial decisions adopted by the FIFA Council and the UEFA Executive Committee, which envisaged the adoption of additional measures,” the statement read, “FIFA and UEFA have today decided together that all Russian teams, whether national representative teams or club teams, shall be suspended from participation in both FIFA and UEFA competitions until further notice.
“These decisions were adopted today by the Bureau of the FIFA Council and the Executive Committee of UEFA, respectively the highest decision-making bodies of both institutions on such urgent matters,” FIFA added.
“Football is fully united here and in full solidarity with all the people affected in Ukraine. Both Presidents hope that the situation in Ukraine will improve significantly and rapidly so that football can again be a vector for unity and peace amongst people,” the statement said.
FIFA added that the ban was effective immediately.
If you’re not European, it’s hard to understand the cultural magnitude of this.
Americans have a bunch of different sports, and a lot of masculine men don’t follow any of them, let alone all of them. Europe only really has one sport, and virtually all working and middle class men follow it.
Maybe without football, these guys’ll join the army out of boredom
