The head of diversity at FIFA has warned the soccer organization’s broadcasting partners to stop zooming in on “hot women” in the crowd at World Cup matches.

Speaking before yesterday’s match between Croatia and England about FIFA’s anti-discrimination program in Russia, diversity boss Federico Addiechi said eliminating those type of shots is part of the “natural evolution” of broadcasts.

What’s with the camera shots in the crowd anyway?

And the liberals are never happy.

I recall liberals complained, when at some stadiums, they do the “kiss cam” and focus on couples in the crowd, the liberals complained they never zoomed in on same sex couples.

Now painting a Croatian flag on your face, that’s impressive, much harder than a French flag, that’s for sure.

Now, I'd rather watch this beauty for 90 minutes than try to watch a soccer game. And, I'm still trying to figure our what the hell is OFFSIDES? Does anybody know? you got 20+ guys running all over the place, kicking each others' shins, and somehow, a ref calls, "OFFSIDES"!

It’s not really hard, when the ball is played there must be at least one defender between the goal and the designated receiver of the pass. That’s so players don’t camp out in front of the goal waiting for a long pass.

Hockey has something similar.

I had no idea there was a reason to watch soccer, now they want to take it away.

Yeah, but watching 20+ men running, kicking, pushing, falling, slamming, and clunking their heads, how can anyone actually pick out anyone on offsides. It's a total disaster and not worth watching. I'm still trying to figure out what the hell they're all singing and rocking back and forth about, when there's nothing happening for 90 minutes right there in front of them.

They have a side judge whose only job is to look for offsides. You basically stand parallel to the further defender and that determines the line.

No, the hockey one is not similar unless there is something in field hockey like it. The hockey faceoff is based on a LINE, not a player.

They won’t have that problem in Qatar.

LOL!

Actually I read this story about a gorgeous girl at the World Cup this year...Her Iranian I.D. was found, and she's completely covered by her hijab. The contrast between her two "selves" went viral.

Offsides, not faceoff. Sorry for the rushed response

I don’t like soccer, except the beginning when all the good looking foreign men run onto the field. :)

The line in soccer is the midfield line.

Actually I liked how the NASL did it and made it at the 35 yard-line, but FIFA nixed it.
