Why are the US even hosting this event? They don’t care about football and seemingly they don’t care about tourism anymore.
The World Cup has long since been a money grubbing exercise by FIFA.
Previously in Russia, Qatar… Saudi Arabia coming up soon. USA feels on brand in this crowd.
It’s the only logical place. Trump won the FIFA peace prize. It’s only fair they hold the world cup in his country.
The answer is always $
it’s not gonna go well
Boycott the World Cup, don’t watch on tv or in person. Don’t spend a penny on this shit show.
lol fuck the world cup
so many millions angry, but not angry enough to rise up en masse and remove thr thorn
Surely you don’t expect tourists to do what Americans don’t have the balls to do.
not here, no. but whats happening here is also being born in other countries. just as they expect us to fight it off here, i expect them to fight it off there for the same reasons
Other countries still have the rule of law so rising up isn’t required. Turkey (I have no idea how it’s supposed to be spelt now Tuekïë?) managed to get rid of their dictator by just voting him out.
Fuck professional sports. Get a life, go outside, do some exercise, stop living vicariously through millionaires kicking a plastic ball.
Why not let people enjoy things?
I’ve no problem with people enjoying things, but…
Phillips-Hunter estimates it will take him two years to pay off the credit card debt he’s taking on for his six-day trip to the U.S., including the $1,350 he spent on a ticket for the Scotland-Morocco match.
That’s absolutely insane, to watch a game.
My tolerance and support for other peoples’ recreational activities ends when my tax dollars get embezzled and funneled to billionaires in the name of “fun”.
Agreed. I’m happy to let people enjoy PLENTY of stuff I think is a stupid waste of time. Because when grown-ass adults decide to play Beyblade they’re not doing it in a stadium paid for by tax breaks made by defunding my public schools and road repairs.
I agree, so why force yourselves onto an entire city? Let us enjoy our city.
Enjoy things that don’t use your money to fund corruption and illegal activities.
People seem to enjoy a lot of things that actively destroy the planet, support slavery and hurt animals.
What like the US passtime of hunting? The call is coming from inside the building.
Hunting can be necessary, such as to cull the deer population where I live. If there were no hunting, the population would completely collapse from starvation.
That’s such an American response. The only reason that animal populations get out of control is because all their natural predators were haunted to extinction centuries ago. Nature is quite capable looking after itself when humans stop dicking around with it
You (the royal “you”) can enjoy watching sports if you want… But if you then criticise me for watching Street Fighter 6 EVO tournament stream, then fuck you.
Also, sort out this drinking and gambling problem with sports already.
This world cup reminds me of the Berlin Olympic games
Sports gambling tainted all professional sports. I’ll go watch a little league game for athletes performing at their best the whole game.
Those are the most likely to have been rigged by betting clowns, since they drawn so little attention
Compared to Canada 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, where your event ticket got you on the busses or Skytrain for free.
I also wonder if they’re aware of public drinking/intoxication laws in the US.
As another user mentioned, the Evan Edinger did an interesting video on the transit situation in the last couple weeks
World cup fans are supporting Fascism so fuck them into poverty.
We’re sorry, WHAT?!
Only $80?
Hm, I wonder how the current prices compare to the 1994 prices, that was the last time USA hosted the FIFA World Cup. There was also the 1996 Olympics.
Stay far away from Kansas City. It’s the most car dependent city out of all the hosts. And all the drivers are shit.
Yeah, don’t come here. It’s shit.
