Death threats mar US Soccer presidential election
Long story short; current president Sunil Gulati will not seek re-election following their World Cup debacle. Both he and MLS commissioner Don Garber are overseeing the election as “impartial” parties. However, they appear to be campaigning for a specific candidate, Kathy Carter, who has deep financial relationships with them.
Fast forward to last week, Carter received an endorsement from a regional soccer organization. When someone on twitter questioned Gulati’s and Garber’s ability to be impartial, the organization threaten that twitter user with death.
See below. The account has since been deactivated.
