After the success of Qatar, it seems pretty clear the only way to get people to not attend the world cup will be if the host country physically denies them entry. So for once, Trump might actually help us out here...

But consider all the human rights violations in qatar are against other brown people. Europeans do not care about that.

You know FIFA is much bigger than just the european countries, right? This is ironically a pretty racist take you're bringing out.

physically denies them entry

I feel like that has never stopped football hooligans before.

Horrible of me to think, but football hooligans trying their shit on the US police would be incredibly cathartic to watch. Had to spend way too long with those assholes ruining it for everyone else so maybe I'm vindictive.

Feels more and more like the true defining human trait is ignoring immense danger or obvious moral depravity to have a little treat.

"Where you from?"
"Jamaica."
"Deport this immigrant!"
"But I'm an athlete, here for the games. I'm a pole vaulter."
"Like 'pole' do you, hukyuk. Deport this gay immigrant!!! So any more gay words about poles, boy, and I'll shooott you."

"Are you a pole vaulter?" "Ja! But how did you know my name is Walter?" /s

Should be "tak" instead of "ja".

Dont boycott the world cup. Just the American games. Watch the canadian and mexican ones even if you wouldn't normally. This shit should be easily visible on a graph it will bring so much more humiliation if it's only their games (which is admittedly most of them) have poor viewership.
