Correct. I don’t see an issue with it, while unfortunate.

However, IFAB’s law change does not clarify what “unfairly distract” means beyond a single example, which is already punishable by yellow cards.
Such vague language could result in the law being unevenly applied depending on the interpretation of the match officials on the day.

Semantics. Still going to be everywhere in the stadium and on the shorts/sleeves/training top.
While there’s no doubt more could be done - this is a big shift. The front-of-shirt sponsor is the most valuable advertising asset these clubs have.
They also stay in people’s memories - I’ve got no idea who the sleeve sponsor of Manchester United is, but I bet I could name all of their front-of-shirt sponsors going back to the 80s.

Those two should buy the Jets…we need new owners…
But who’d watch a documentary series about them finishing almost last again? 
I would. We are the people’s team.

Thank f**k our season is over. Another disappointing season.
Being a Jets fan is like being a BDSM addict.

Their visit coincides with last-minute negotiations between FIFA and the broadcasters of five big European countries — England, Germany, Italy, France and Spain — which president Gianni Infantino has repeatedly criticised for offering “10 to 100 times less” to broadcast the Women’s World Cup, compared with the men’s.

1 step forward, two steps back.
So much for backing the women’s game.

Western United and McArthur FC, plus Wollongong and Canberra.
