Pressure FIFA to immediately withdraw 2018 World Cup award from Russia given its role in downing of MH17 over Ukraine

Created by M.M. on July 21, 2014

In light of the barbaric & uncivilized shoot down of Malaysian Airlines MH17 on July 17, 2014 over eastern Ukraine by Russian-backed separatists & the resulting cold-blooded murder of the 298 souls aboard, we call on the White House to ask FIFA to rescind the 2018 World Cup Russia award. We further encourage a worldwide boycott of the 2018 games. Can't see the World Cup played in a host country that enabled the murder of 80 innocent children who had nothing to with the Ukraine conflict. Mr. Putin must be shown there are real consequences for his irresponsible actions & that the world won't stand by idly while he continues to commit and/or allow crimes against humanity. FIFA should rescind its 2010 decision & award the 2018 World Cup to the joint Belgium & Netherlands bid instead. Thank you
