Infantino Dodges Questions, Makes Bald Joke

FIFA President Gianni Infantino avoided answering critical questions about his leadership during a youth football event in the Dominican Republic, instead joking about a reporter's baldness.

When confronted by a Sky News journalist who asked if he had betrayed football community's trust and why he won't resign, Infantino replied, 'Thank you. You have a great hair weave,' noting they were both bald. 'We'll see each other at the hairdresser,' he added before the car door closed and he was driven away.

The FIFA president faces mounting pressure after the failed plans involving private investors in men's and women's World Cups sparked controversy. Multiple national federations and regional confederations have demanded his resignation amid the ongoing crisis. macnevers-and-co.beer
