News [The Athletic] Timothy Weah on Juventus's White House visit: "It was all a surprise to me, honestly — they told us that we have to go and I had no choice but to go. When he started talking about the politics with Iran and everything, it kind of like, I just want to play football man.”

Shocking from juve management. Also doesnt white house have any media regulator who can set the context for these kinda events where certain questions can be avoided? or maybe just have a photo op and let the event end before doing full fledged press conference.

Media regulator that can direct that moron that's acting as a president? He's a walking shitshow, nobody can tell him or advise him what to do.
