Why did Argentina's players go on strike? And how did it get resolved?

2. You're not kidding. It's another stealth tax increase, really - as well as payback for Clarin.

The Clarín Media Group, you see, is co-owner of the Torneos (formerly TyC) sports broadcaster - which formed a joint venture with Turner and Fox Sports to take part in the above-mentioned bidding.

They stand to cash in big league if their bid is the one chosen by the AFA.

The former CEO of TyC, Alejandro Burzaco, figured prominently in the 2015 FIFAgate scandal for having paid up to $370 million in bribes to FIFA officials over 12 years to secure lucrative broadcast rights. Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch had him arrested and extradited to the U.S., where he's still under house arrest in New York.

Don't be surprised if Trump has the FBI drop charges against him in the near future, probably after Macri visits Washington this Spring.

And I'm sure he'll broach the subject: Burzaco's briother, Eugenio, is Macri's Security Minister.
