Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter is backing a proposed fan boycott of World Cup matches in the United States because of the conduct of President Donald Trump and his administration at home and abroad.

Blatter was the latest international soccer figure to call into question the suitability of the United States as a host country. He called for the boycott in a post on X that supported the comments of Mark Pieth in an interview with the Swiss newspaper Der Bund.

Pieth chaired the Independent Governance Committee’s oversight of FIFA reform a decade ago.

Wiener race coming back

INDIANAPOLIS — The Wienermobiles are coming back for a bite at the Brickyard in May, giving them another chance to relish the spotlight of racing’s biggest weekend.

Oscar Mayer has announced its full fleet of six Wienermobiles will compete for the second straight year on Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s historic 2.5-mile oval.

The Wienie 500 is scheduled for May 22 during the track’s annual Carburation Day festivities, two days before the Indianapolis 500.
