When money talks, pleasing Arabs of Persian gulf is on the table for all, even the FIFA!
It is truly sad how much the Arab countries around Persian gulf hate the name Persian Gulf. They have spend 100s of millions of dollars lobbying everyone, from Google, to Apple, National Geographic and now even FIFA to use the made up name Arabian Gulf instead of it.
Imagine if Americans were that pathetic and fought to change Gulf of Mexico to Gold of Texas or something similar, because they feel inferior when hearing any reference to Gulf of Mexico in their daily life.
As IRI is becoming more and more isolated and hated, the push from Arab nations to force this change to become permanent.
