Although Qatar is also a shithole, they were smart enough to not scare the visitors. Magastan is actively telling the world that the maga gestapo will deport any "alien" to fuck knows where.
Going to magastan right now means you are just one angry gravy seal away from ending deported in a country you don't even know.
This.
Plus the crazy magastan prices for everything, and plenty of hotels and tourism industries in the host cities are crying that reservations are low, that World Cup is a "non event" for them when we are just weeks away of the event.
I believe we will see rather empty stadium with zero ambiance and most spectators will probably be locals that call football soccer.
Then ICE will molest a Euro football star because he’s black so teams will boycott the US and only play in Mexico and Canada.
This is going to be the greatest fuckup of history, nobody is fucking shit up like that. I can’t wait.
As funny as that would be I bet that this event goes off without a hitch. Like ⅔ of the planned transit projects are already delayed, though.
Qatar used slave labor to build their stadiums. Football fans looked the other way. They will also ignore the gestapo and the wars US started. My bet is also on full stadiums.
The slaves didn't really affect them directly though. They were all sent back to the camps by the time the event started.
Getting stopped at the border and having some jackboots rifle through your phone and social media is a little more in your face.
I don't think for a minute though that those stadiums won't be filled. There are more than enough people world wide to fill events like this with out issue.
The difference is one potentially directly affects them and one doesn't. You cant just look away if youre being hauled off somewhere. However, I still think the stadium will be full
I agree there's a difference but it's not going to stop Football brained fans from going. If they were thinking rationally they would boycott this disgusting spectacle of corruption decades ago.
