胡杰/文北京时间8月3日，据《纽约邮报》报道，面对日益高涨的逼宫辞职压力，国际足联主席因凡蒂诺希望特朗普政府能帮助保住其职位，然而据多位知情人士透露，自上周五其出售计划破产以来，因凡蒂诺曾多次尝试给特朗普打电话，但均未能接通。此前，《纽约邮报》率先报道了因凡蒂诺策划将世界杯部分商业权益出售的计划，该计划在遭到全球足球协会近乎一致强烈抗议后宣告夭折。    The father of the Highland Park shooter will be criminally investigated, according to The Guardian, for signing off on his son’s firearm license in 2019. On July 4, 2022, his son allegedly murdered seven people and injured at least 40 more.,Robert Crimo Jr., the father of Robert Crimo III, sponsored his son’s firearm license in 2019. In Illinois, gun purchasers must be at least 21 years of age if they do not have the written consent of their parent or legal guardian. Crimo Jr. admitted to signing the affidavit to media outlets before the criminal investigation became public. By signing the document, he agreed to be held liable “for any damages resulting from the minor applicant’s use of firearms or firearm ammunition.”,Crimo Jr. signed the application despite his son having two previous encounters with the police. One of those encounters occurred in September 2019, during which Crimo III allegedly stated that he would “kill everybody” in his family. Law enforcement confiscated 16 knives, a dagger, and a sword from Crimo III’s room that day, but they were returned after Crimo Jr. claimed that the weapons were his and were only stored in his son’s room for “safekeeping.”,When asked if he regretted the decision to sign off on his son’s firearm purchase, Crimo Jr. said he does not. “Had I purchased guns throughout the years and given them to him in my name, that’s a different story. But he went through that whole process himself.” Crimo Jr. also noted that his son purchased firearms himself before the shooting.,Crimo III is currently 22 years old and would not have needed to get his parents’ permission for a firearm license if he applied for one after his 21st birthday.,Crimo Jr. says his son had “good morals” and that the two had talked about the Copenhagen, Denmark, shooting that took place a day earlier. During that conversation, Crimo Jr. says that his son called the Denmark shooter “an idiot.”,Police say that Crimo III told them he had planned another massacre at a Wisconsin Fourth of July parade after he left Highland Park. He instead decided to return to Illinois where he was arrested driving his mother’s vehicle.,This is not the first time the parents of an alleged mass shooter have found themselves in legal trouble. Two parents in Michigan were charged with involuntary manslaughter after their 15-year-old son used a gun they purchased to murder four classmates.,There were 13 mass shootings nationwide over the Fourth of July weekend.。在“FIFA私有化”闹剧后，多地足协选择撤回对因凡蒂诺的支持，威尔士成为首个正式撤回对因凡蒂诺连任支持的足球协会，随后塞尔维亚足协同样发布类似声明。威尔士足协在声明中表示：“因凡蒂诺先生在良好治理、流程、领导力、价值观、利益相关者管理、沟通和判断力等方面的失误，导致威尔士足协对其失去信任，不再支持他继续执掌世界足坛。

二 | 未能将足球的最佳利益放在首位，是我们无法接受的失败。”目前，因凡蒂诺正面临来自各国足协及国际足联内部日益增长的压力：他的长期顾问卡洛斯·科尔代罗因抗议其最初的提议而选择辞职，而国际足联首席运营官也指责因凡蒂诺在相关计划上“欺骗”了员工。外界如今开始质疑他是否还能继续担任主席一职。

三 | 报道称，因凡蒂诺在铺天盖地的负面舆论中感到“孤立无援”，正急切寻找有分量的盟友公开支持他。在无法联系上特朗普后，他转而将希望寄托于美国国务卿鲁比奥，试图借“足球作为美国软实力”的名义寻求美国政府为其保住职位。值得一提的是，就在几天前，特朗普还断然否认知晓因凡蒂诺这一大胆的出售计划。当被问及“因凡蒂诺先生是否向您提及过出售世界杯部分股权的提案”时，特朗普先是冷冰冰地回应：“谁？”在问题被重复后，这位美国总统补充道：“没有，我没和他聊过这件事。”《泰晤士报》指出，由于放弃出售世界杯股权，因凡蒂诺无缘5500万欧的天价年薪，这一数字与美国职业橄榄球大联盟（NFL）总裁罗杰·古德尔的收入持平。
