US laws don't apply outside of the US.

I get that you're really into your nationalism and American exceptionalism over there, but surely you understand that.

US law is as relevant here as Japanese law.

[โ€“] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sigh.

US laws apply to anybody or anything on US Ground. That includes people, business, and things like money and banking.

If you want to practice monopolistic business practices in other parts of the world and exclude the US and U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement countries, that is up to you and the antitrust laws of the EU and Britain.

If this is your way of saying you understand this is not a contract matter, say so.

[โ€“] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exactly, and FOM isn't in the US, it's in the UK. I can show you a map if you like.

This really isn't complicated.

[โ€“] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exactly

So, it's not a contract issue

You are dead wrong about F1 being a foreign entity but suppose it is. Suppose it is incorporated in Britain instead of Delaware. Then it still can be indicted as was FIFA, a Swiss company, as this article explains.

https://www.cnbc.com/2015/05/27/why-fifa-is-being-prosecuted-in-the-us.html#:~:text=FIFA%20may%20be%20based%20in,some%20of%20its%20top%20officials.

BTW, the Feds won this case.

It is a foreign entity, are you stupid? The UK is not in the US. I can show you a map if you like. How could you possibly argue that a business based in the UK isn't a foreign entity to the US.

Currie explained that CONCACAFโ€™s headquarters has been in the United Statesโ€”in New York and then Floridaโ€”for the entire time period included in the indictment.

Doesn't apply to FOM.

Also, this covers financial crimes in which American financial companies and a headquarters based in the US was involved.

Very different to FOM, a British company, the FIA, a French company, and teams (various countries) setting standards on who can join their private club.

Should the NFL be under the jurisdiction of the UK?

OK, we'll end this right here. You obviously are on the edge. I'll block you for good measure.
