Agreed. Back when FIFA announced that the US was going to get another world cup I was over the moon and thought for sure my husband and I would go to at least one game, and that was before the host cities were announced. (At that point we were season ticket holders for our local MLS club as well.) I live in a host city, so going wouldn't be even mildly inconvenient, but not only am I not, I don't even plan to watch the cup. 12 and 16 years ago I was watching every single game, even streaming them on my phone while at work. Not that FIFA was a bastion of morality even then, but I feel like it's gotten so much worse, and supporting the games in any way just rubs me wrong. I'm also not happy helping this administration get a win of any kind, so I'll just catch on Lemmy who wins and call it good enough.
In 2010 the entire office shut down, people were projecting games on sheets hung up in the cafeteria, two of my engineers were dutch so the whole team went to go watch one of the games to support them, and nobody even thought about trying to stop it.
It was a multinational company and it gave everybody something to talk about and even the people who didn't care about the games often went along for the drama.
And that's dead dead dead.
My kid asked me yesterday "why does everything just keep getting shittier?"
