FIFA president Gianni Infantino has sparked a a storm in the desert ahead of the World Cup by bizarrely claiming he knows all about life-altering discrimination due to growing up with red hair.
The game’s global governing body has been slaughtered for the decision to take the finals to Qatar, where the treatment of migrant workers and the rights of LGBTQ+ people have been condemned by human rights campaigners.
If decision makers were hoping for serene before the big kick-off then Infantino had other ideas as his words caused instant shock and did little to quell resentment over the decision to host the tournament in Qatar.
Speaking on Saturday, Infantino said: “Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arabic. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel [like] a migrant worker. Of course I am not Qatari, I am not an Arab, I am not African, I am not gay, I am not disabled. But I feel like it, because I know what it means to be discriminated [against], to be bullied, as a foreigner in a foreign country. “As a child I was bullied – because I had red hair and freckles, plus I was Italian so imagine. What do you do then? You try to engage, make friends. Don’t start accusing, fighting, insulting, you start engaging. And this is what we should be doing.”

Today I feel Qatari today I feel Arab today I feel African today I feel gay today I feel disabled today I feel a migrant worker. Of course, I'm not Qatari, I'm not Arab, I'm, not African, I'm not gay, I'm not disabled, I'm not really a migrant worker, but I feel like them, because I know what it means to be discriminated to be bullied as a foreigner in a foreign country as a Child at school, I was bullied because I had red hair and I had this red. How do you call them? Freckles, freckles, freckles, sorry, freckles freckles, you see, I don't even know the term. We have told many many lessons from some Europeans from the Western world. I'M European - actually, I am European, not just, I feel European, I think, for what we Europeans have been doing in the last 3000 years around the world. We should be apologizing for next 3000 years before starting to give moral lessons to people

Cicoman: Gingers are as discriminated as any other minority…have you not seen Cartman in South Park? Makes perfect sense…and he trying to say that just because after centuries of bigoted ignorant behaviour now the western world has reach a morale high ground, it doesn’t mean the west should judge another country morale based on their own. Let’s not forget where Europe of today comes from. All I get is a man trying to avoid too much conflict and focus on the game of football
