Norton, VA - United States youth player Randolph Duke Jr. stated that he was keeping his eligibility open for a possible Confederate States of America Gold Cup Squad in the case that the south secedes again from the United States after a Joe Biden victory.

“I’m not committing to one thing or another,” stated Duke to The Nutmeg News. “I think that both countries would be capable of fielding a strong squad at the gold cup and I’ll decide my eligibility at another time.”

Duke reportedly stated his interest in playing alongside his, “like minded countryman,” as he vigorously decried the politicization of soccer in the United States as being, “a leftist conspiracy.”

Friends indicate that Duke, at 15 years old, has been under the influence of his father Randolph Duke Sr. who repeatedly declined an interview with this publication stating, “I will not talk to purveyors of Marxist ideology. TRUMP 2020.”

Despite his fathers prevarications, Duke Jr. indicated that he had no issues with playing with people of all nationalities as he stated, “I’ve played with kids from Alabama to Arkansas to even those hippies in California. I’m not a bigot. I just believe that my race and religion deserves dominion over our country.”

The Sons Of The Confederate States of America Soccer Federation announced their strict eligibility process that includes a bloodline check and nationality test over the course of a week. They plan on announcing Duke Jr and several other right wingers and right backs over the course of the year.

“People made fun of our forefathers for losing terribly and lasting basically 2 years, but the ultimate revenge will be beating the traitorous north at this terrible little game since they are too scared to play us in the real football,” stated James Samuels, director of the SOTCSASF.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Duke Jr. tries to figure out whether a one time FIFA switch can be applied to nations that may or may not form from the implosion of the United States.
