FIFA Football Initiative

The Football Federation of Sri Lanka welcomed FIFA chief's withdrawal of a proposed initiative. The decision was positively received by the local football governance body.

FIFA proposed something, Sri Lanka said "thanks but no thanks," and somehow this counts as headline news twice. Nothing says "we dodged a bullet" like celebrating that a multi-billion dollar organization *didn't* interfere with your football—that's like bragging that your landlord decided not to renovate your apartment with a sledgehammer.
