The word unanimous has appeared in 312 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on March 15 in “Soccer’s Perpetual President: Why Gianni Infantino Can’t Lose” by Tariq Panja:
A broad sense of approval for Infantino’s tenure is — at least publicly — shared widely, particularly among the dozens of small nations that rely on the millions Infantino and FIFA direct back to them to meet their annual budgets.
Infantino’s support, though, is hardly unanimous. He has waged bruising public battles with soccer leaders from Europe and South America, in particular, and has shown a tendency to overplay his hand, including on his since-abandoned proposal to stage the World Cup every two years instead of four.
