Quote from The Athletic story linked below : "Technically, Chicago did sign the contract but they did so, cheekily, in a manner they knew FIFA would not accept. FIFA’s representatives made clear that no redlining would be accepted within the signed documents, so Chicago signed a blemish-free version of the contract but then added an asterisk below the line listing all of Chicago’s pending concerns and conditions."
