      Here’s what Trump counts on and the only reason his tired act works – in the end, almost everyone acts in their own best interest.

      He exposes the precarious quality and limits of altruism. Taking advantage of the uncivilized aspects of human nature.

      Ffs, please. Yes. Do it. Do it now. Democrats can’t even boycott cartoonishly evil companies like walmart and amazon. Giant fucking hypocrites. We need people to actually start having some principles around here.

      If you didn’t boycott Qatar’s World Cup, you can’t boycott this one.

      When American officials considered boycotting the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, Avery Brundage returned with empty promises and no interest to boycott because “Regardless of in what country the Olympic Games are held, there will be some group, some religion, or some race that can register a protest because of the action of the government of that country, past or present.”

      People will do any mental gymnastics they need to in order to still have their bread and circuses. This one official sees the big picture, but I’d be surprised if he can get everyone on board given the amount of money at stake

      It’s huge that this is even mentioned. Not only because the insane amount of money involved, lets not even talk about FIFA and their love to greed adn corruption, but the passion that this invokes in the fans and players. The World Cup is huge, for many countries just playing there is the prize. For others like Germany, their is a real shot to win. Something players dream about their whole lives. Just ask Messi to give up his win with Argentina. I bet he would sacrifice almost all of his leauge titles, CL’s or BD’s before he gave that one up.

      If it came down to countries boycotting the World Cup then we got some seismic stuff going on. Bigger then any trade bazookas or stuff like that. This is real people who live and work just so they can enjoy their team and their national team play some football. To sacrifice that then the world is burning for some change. Not just ready, but burning.

      Boycott only the games in America. Keep the World cup in Mexico and Canada

      Never mind Greenland, I’m in favour of a boycott over the comments about NATO soldiers. And about ten other things actually.

      Boycott the Olympics too. There is literally an Epstein associate as the chairman of the LA Olympic Committee right now. Casey Wasserman was on the plane and in his black book. His fucking grand kid has a photo with Epstein and Maxwell. He should be under investigation and not planning the fucking Olympics.

      Trump doesn’t care about soccer, he will be happy to cancel the event if it means getting the other things he wants.

      I also think it would be unfortunate if a bunch of people went to the USA for the World Cup and got detained

      Before it comes to that he already renamed it Peace board world championship and asked nations pay a billion to his private account in Dubai to participat.e

      South africa – brazil – russia – qatar – usa – saudi

      Meh, the us fits right in. Also, infantino is just as corrupt as the rapist in chief, so he probably feels even more strongly, that the us is the right choice now

      Over the Greenland demands? Not ICE? Not over banning a bunch of participants countries from entering the U.S.? Not his demonization of South Americans?
      It’s SAD that it took THIS LONG for people to consider boycotting the world cup. We need to have ZERO foreigners show up, save their money, and spend it back home. The United States does NOT deserve your tourism dollars. Stay away from this dumpster fire

      I’ll believe it when I see it. FIFA (and the IOC) won’t do jack shit. There’s too much money involved. They just gave Cheeto their made-up fake „Peace Prize.“ I just hope the stands at the U.S. games aren’t full and that people attend the games in Canada and Mexico instead.

      Just Fucking Do IT.. After Trump puts a bullshit Tarrif threat out, the entire world can stop trading with U.S. No matter the cost. We should be treated like Germany was after WWI

    26. lametheory on

      At the end of the day, unless teams boycott it, the FIFA will just dump ticket prices to ensure the stadiums are full of locals.

      Perception is all that matters now.
