The unpatriotic left wont cheer for Team USA because Trump helped right a World Cup wrong

The professionally miserable wing of the American left is torn up over the righting of an egregious wrong at the World Cup.During its Round of 32 matchup last week, the US national team watched in horror as star striker Folarin Balogun received a red card because the opposing player challenging him from behind failed to stay on his feet while the pair battled for the ball.That would have sidelined Balogun for the all-important elimination match against Belgium — until Sunday, when FIFA delayed implementing the striker’s suspension.The subsequent moaning from the Belgians was pathetic.The bellyaching from self-hating American malcontents, doubly so.Ex-Obama aide Tommy Vietor professed to be “overjoyed” that Balogun would take the field — yet lamented that his reinstatement would “make the rest of the world feel like the tournament was rigged.”Husband from hell and fifth-place primary finisher George Conway called the episode “revolting” and that it might “end up tarnishing the team.”Richard Hanania deemed Bolgun’s reinstatement “a depressing sign of how far we’ve fallen,” comparing the Stars and Stripes to “a backwards, third world country.”Meanwhile, actual third-worldists like Mehdi Hasan sided with Hanania, calling on Balogun to “refuse to play” in protest of the “unfair” development.Some of the teeth-gnashing can be chalked up to a particularly nasty strain of Trump Derangement Syndrome.By all reports, Trump called FIFA president Gianni Infantino to ask that the body give the matter a second look.According to Axios’ Marc Caputo, though, Trump made no “specific ask” and was told the matter was being “independently reviewed.”That’s irrelevant to the Trump haters: “Even FIFA is engaged in Trump crime family corruption,” former congressman Adam Kinzinger frothed.It should come as no surprise that those who have allowed Trump’s existence to warp their minds beyond recognition are upset that he may have pla...
