Episode Details

FIFA, an organization famous for never being involved in controversy, has launched an investigation after an Australian VAR official was seen making a hand gesture that some believe is associated with white supremacists. The official says it wasn’t meant that way, critics disagree, and now a committee will spend an unknown number of hours reviewing video footage frame-by-frame to determine whether humanity has once again discovered a new way to argue about hand signals on the internet. In the meantime, everyone remains extremely calm and reasonable about it, as people always do on social media. For making a super unnecessary gesture, innocent or nah, World Cup Referee Shaun Evan should feel shame, shame, shame.
