Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should President Trump have called FIFA to review the suspension of Flo Balogun? Michael Smerconish explains why one controversial World Cup decision has become a much larger debate about politics, sports, and presidential influence. After Team USA's Flo Balogun had his suspension overturned following President Trump's appeal to FIFA, Michael weighs whether the original red card was unjust—and whether a president should ever intervene in an international sporting decision, even for the right outcome. He also reflects on his newfound appreciation for soccer, the World Cup's global appeal, and why this controversy has sparked such a passionate response from fans around the world.
