I think it started when they awarded Trump the FIFA peace prize
FIFA’s corruption started decades ago.
It’s the pricing. I work in sales and we have fifa tickets we can give out. Most customers can’t take them because they’re considered excessive.
I understand, but somehow KC was able to find a way to blame Trump.
Some people have a weird obsession with Trump.
FIFA isn’t a wildly popular event. It’s not my thing but the fact is the tickers are so insane, it has driven a lot of people away.
It is a pretty big thing here.
Watch parties are happening all over.
I didn’t blame Trump for anything… I just pointed out that FIFA gave him the FIFA peace prize.
Splitting hairs.
His name should have never been mentioned in the thread.
But it’s the vaunted FIFA peace prize.
FOR FUCKS SAKE
I don’t follow soccer so I usually don’t give a fuck about FIFA, but when they pandered to Trump I lost any respect for them. And the way he is fucking around with people coming here to see the games, specifically Scotland (to punish them for windmills on his golf course) I would hope they would revoke it.
If you had any respect for them before that you have a problem.
did you miss this
If the only reason you care about them is because of Trump, then you have issues, which are proven by you mentioning him in this thread.
In fairness, both Trump’s name and the FIFA Peace Prize he received are mentioned in the linked article.
Gosh, they sound a lot like the NFL.
I am pretty sure KC didn’t read the article. And that was just a passing mention, it was not in any way a reason for the problems of this years Cup.
Speaking of FIFA…

We thought about renting out our basement, but just didn’t want to go through the hassle.
