Start of the story:

> MU spokesperson Christian Basi said the welfare check was for a male student, and court documents say the mother of the student made the request. She said she had not spoken to her child since Monday at 10:30 p.m.

End of the story:

> Police said investigators have a "good idea" of who the victim is, but more definitive information is needed and next of kin needs to be notified.

Yeah… I think I have a good idea who the victim is, too.

It's not a different point. It is you disagreeing with an indisputable, easily verified fact. There is a difference between "it's a bit chilly today" and "it is snowing in Ecuador right now".

> It is totally polite. I ask for a context and said I was open. Wow.

No, totally polite may have been something along the lines of "Oh that's interesting, I didn't know that. Do you have an example of its use in a regular game so I can familiarize myself with it a bit more?" But even that is showing a lack of willingness on your part to look for yourself before asking others to do your research for you.

You also disagreed while having no knowledge of the topic and not even bothering to do a five second google search. But instead of taking a moment to verify it for yourself you asked someone else to do the work for you while also implying that the person you are asking for help is wrong.

It may have been polite on the surface, but that's it.

It's not missing the point at all. There is no sports organization that would allow someone to run freely on the field like that, yet that commenter (and you) are trying to paint this like it's a FIFA doing something wrong.

It's just flat out disingenuous. There's more than enough to criticize FIFA for, this isn't one of them.

Of course, we won't include that photo in our article, but rather a different photo which doesn't show the artwork.
