oh shit. Football + free speech + bitcoin-is-racist.

As The Times reports, FIFA, the global governing body that runs the World Cup and sets the stadium rules, has warned rowdy fans not to chant politically charged messages during World Cup games. Doing so would violate FIFA's World Cup Stadium Code of Conduct, which prohibits fans from bringing in or displaying banners, flags, fliers, apparel, and other paraphernalia that are of a "political, offensive and/or discriminatory nature." It also bans spectators from cursing or chanting "in a political, offensive and/or discriminatory manner," or using foul or abusive language.

Foul and abusive language seems to be, uh, the point of chanting at a football game, I dunno?

FIFA can confiscate a flag at the turnstiles, but it cannot stop thousands of Englishmen in Texas from taking advantage of America's speech laws—which are especially lenient compared to the U.K.'s—and saying what they think about the prime minister back home. In the land of the free, **England fans will undoubtedly jump at every available opportunity to name-call their deeply unpopular leader,**all while reveling in the glory of supporting a brilliant team.

So, uh... first we had kiddy p0rn and now even the NONCE is outlawed?? Bitcoin really is dying

Lived in the UK five years... first I'm hearing of this. Apparently accurate... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonce
