What's really fucked up is not only was he only looking for a temporary stay for a confirmed job... He was literally going to be broadcasted on international TV in front of millions, what crimes did they think he would commit while refereeing the god damn world cup? Like "red card on number 24... Allah akbar death to the infidels"??? Or better yet "offsides on number 35... And here's my number if anyone is looking for some quality weed"

The crime is usually better known as "being black in public". More specifically "being a black authority figure".
