How FIFA Is Killing the World Cup

[jimtoo]

They may need to change their pricing model. I read an article the other day about a guy who bought tickets for the family totaling about $8,800 in seats along the goal line so his son, a soccer goalie, could watch how the goalie played. The tickets that he received were in a totally different place, much higher and but in the corner. FIFA had not responded to his correspondence when the article was written.

Just being curious after seeing clips of the Knicks game, I don’t recall Trump ever taking his son Barron to any of the sports events he goes too, although he has said he’s very athletic. I don’t do sports, but watch clips of Trump, so have I missed something?

IMO, I think Baron just wants to stay out of the spotlight, kind of like Tiffany

Makes sense

I think he’s involved, but not publicly. He’s allowed a private life.

Baron may be one of the people who helped him win in 2024 most.

Trump did talk about how Baron told him to start doing podcasts to reach young people

Yes, if you look at the group that changed votes between 2020 and 2024, it is young men. A large change. So, if you want to allocate credit, I’d give it to Joe Rogan, Charlie Kirk, and Baron.

They may be losing some of those young men now, but lots of time between now and 2028.

Harris should have done Rogan’s podcast.

Splitting hairs.
His name should have never been mentioned in the thread.

But it’s the vaunted FIFA peace prize.

I don’t think KC has gone even six hours without thinking about Donald Trump for the past 10 years running.

Speaking for myself, thinking of Trump for the last 10 years, is because it’s new BS every single day of something stupid he has said or done. You can’t log on the internet without seeing it. I’m watching them take his name off someone elses memorial live right now, it’s too early for a glass of wine to celebrate though. Shit they stopped work it’s raining there.

Never too early for wine when you are retired.

Speaking for myself

KC has a more serious addiction than you do. He turns almost every single thread into a Trump faux outrage masturbation, and then complains if anyone drops a political meme into the humor thread.

I don’t much about Trump in the real world. He has little impact on my life. It’s weird for people to consumed with him.

For fifa it’s not my sport and even if it was, I wouldn’t spend that type of money on tickets.
