There's a piece in the Guardian as well. This sort of thing is very sad.

Absolutely.

I'm expecting FIFA's reaction any minute now.

After all, you can't imagine FIFA backing off with their policies depending
on which FA would be subject to it, right?

Right?

Can't use the word surprise, but still very shocking how pre-80
communistic (of the Maoist flavor) North Korea is. Jung's crying
obviously got himself off. Good for him.

I think this should be taken with a grain of salt. The sources cited
in this piece are "knowledgeable sources" and a "Chinese businessman."
I am not implying that this regime is beyond such preposterous
behavior, but that this could just as well be embellished propaganda
in the reverse direction.
