Lionel Messi's absence from a promotional event in Hong Kong has caused a public relations crisis for Inter Miami, the Major League Soccer team co-owned by David Beckham. The event was part of a promotional tour for the team, but Messi did not show up, leading to disappointment among fans and negative publicity for the team's brand.
Lionel Messi's global tour with Inter Miami, aimed at promotion and marketing, has turned into a PR nightmare as the team has been outscored and won only once in five games. The absence of Messi and Luis Suarez, both injured and aging, has led to angry fans demanding refunds and booing. The tour, spanning from El Salvador to Hong Kong, has raised expectations that marquee players will appear as advertised, causing fan outrage and public relations headaches. Inter Miami's coach apologized for Messi's absence and the team prepares for its MLS season opener, with uncertainty surrounding Messi's participation in the upcoming matches.
Hunter Biden's offer to publicly testify before the House as part of his father's impeachment inquiry may backfire on Republicans who have sought to make him a political target. Refusing to allow Hunter to testify publicly could hurt the GOP's image, as voters may perceive it as a do-nothing majority in the House.

However, the longer it drags on, the more Democrats may build their case against the House GOP being unserious about governing.
