If that was why, then it was a very lame reason.
I think it was just a cowardly knee-jerk political impulse which has now backfired on him.
OTOH, it may have been a sinisterly calculated act to shame and belittle the USA even more.
I have trouble deciding if this guy, FUBO, is just grossly incompetent, or calculatingly evil. It’s definitely one or the other, IMO.
I’m beginning to think everything he does is intentional.
