00:00This is your New York Sports Minute presented by Tri-State Cadillac.
00:03Politics absolutely collided with soccer at the FIFA Club World Cup Final and that has sparked a debate online.
00:10So after Chelsea FC beat Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup Final 3-0, the action didn't stop there on the pitch.
00:18First you had a fight break out between both the teams after the final whistle.
00:22But everyone's talking about the moments after President Trump and FIFA's Gianni Infantino presented Chelsea's players with the trophies.
00:31You can see some of the players up on stage a little confused and you can see Infantino kind of waving his hand to the president to get off the stage or walk off the stage with him.
00:43So the Chelsea players could celebrate because rarely do you see a country's leader up there turning up with the team.
00:50So this has sparked debates online on sports diplomacy.
00:54The FIFA World Cup is less than a year away.
00:57So we want to hear your thoughts on if politics should mix with sports on the global stage.
