The most corrupt government partners with most currupt governing sports association. Name a better duo?
FIFA knows a thing or two about shmoozing a corrupt government official
And slavery and racism and hating queer people.
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…

If you think the “game” of FIFA is football, i’ll have to disappoint you.
