Alleged Mailbomber Cesar Sayoc Had Ties to the Soccer, Sports World

There is not much known yet about Cesar Sayoc, the alleged serial mail bomber who was charged Friday afternoon in connection with the explosive packages mailed to prominent Democrats and Trump critics. But the little public information available about Sayoc connects him to the sports world in unexpected ways.

Pictures of Sayoc's van that circulated around the web Friday morning depicted a number of bizarre references to the soccer world. One banner on the van's side mentioned "Top Youth Soccer Recruits for Trump" and appeared to feature a picture of a youth soccer team as well as pictures of a dozen unidentified soccer players in action.
