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.
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.
