M.I.A.: "Extremely Arrogant" French Soccer Team Should Back Off

FUSE TV - M.I.A.: "Extremely Arrogant" French Soccer Team Should Back Off

Back in November, M.I.A. shared the video for "Borders" in the lead-up to her fifth album, Matahdatah (one of the LPs we're most excited for in 2016). The clip, which has garnered more than 1 million views, evokes the struggle that Syrian refugees are facing in trying to immigrate to safer, stabler nations. M.I.A. is seen wearing a jersey for Paris Saint-Germain Football Club; she's modified the sponsorship logo for the Dubai-based Emirates airline to read Fly Pirates.

And in a delayed but hard-hitting response, the soccer team demanded on Monday that the "Borders" video be taken down within 24 hours, calling it an "unpleasant surprise" and saying "by causing us an image prejudice, you have unduly taken advantage from the considerable reputation of our club." There's also mention of "economic prejudice" incurred as a result of the video; compensation is demanded. The video, as of this publication, is still online (and viewable below).
