The Guardian:
All of FIFA's members have a duty to protect the integrity of the sport and save FIFA from itself, even at the risk of retaliation. In the short term, I hope federations around the world find the courage to oppose [Gianni] Infantino's vision for the sport; in the long term, I urge them to pursue structural governance reforms that take power away from the role of the FIFA president and shift it toward the Council, the Congress, and the Secretary General, so that no single individual can ever act unilaterally to soccer's detriment again. Perhaps then the greatest legacy of this World Cup will be that it spurred us to speak up for and defend the values that make soccer the people's game.

Maine Public:
President Joe Biden on Monday designated a new national monument in Newcastle, Maine, honoring Frances Perkins, who was the country's first female cabinet secretary. Perkins was a key architect of some of nation's most sweeping labor laws and reforms. During her 12 years as labor secretary, Perkins was pivotal in bringing about President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal reforms that helped the country emerge from the Great Depression--and that continue to affect the American workforce today.
Politico:
In Washington, the political epicenter of the U.S., soccer has become another lubricant for the all-important networking that oils the corridors of power. "It’s a great way to bond and build connections," said Adam Hodge, an Arsenal supporter and former spokesperson in the White House under President Joe Biden. "It lends itself to a mix of talking about work and talking about our clubs."
