FIFA knows a thing or two about shmoozing a corrupt government official
And slavery and racism and hating queer people.
The most corrupt government partners with most currupt governing sports association. Name a better duo?
I was on the fence about attending a world cup (it would be my first) when the sleaze has been trying to say it’s “his” for the last year. Since FIFA has been corrupt forever it probably means I won’t be able to enjoy it as much because I’ll be considering what I’d be endorsing. It’s disappointing, I’ve wanted to go to one since I was a kid but considering there will probably be ICE raids in the concourse or psychopaths trying to drive trucks into the crowd to kill the [insert group] I’ll have to forgo it.
I’m surprised I have heard anything about boycott here–therr was a ton of push for that during Qatar build up around human rights, and nothing for this? I’d hope the US gets boycotted by whole nations ala East German/Russian Olympics.
Because the protests for Qatar amounted to nothing. FIFA has hosted the WC in multiple countries under dictatorship. I stopped watching anything remotely fifa related due to the rampant corruption everyone ignores
Oh ffs…
Football is already the world game. The second it takes over the US the sport may be at its peak competitiveness.
If you think the “game” of FIFA is football, i’ll have to disappoint you.
