Gonna be a shitshow when US matches don’t sell out.
Big beautiful solution: don’t host the World Cup in USA.
Boycott the World Cup and any future Olympics that take place in this shit hole country. We don’t deserve to have them, and the people who come to cheer for the athletes don’t deserve to be treated like trash.
The majority of my Latino friends are into soccer. And the majority of them also voted for Trump. I really don’t think they care. It’s staggering.
Because shit countries have been a problem for big sporting events for… Never. It actually seems like a bonus since you dont have to be as coy with the bribe-asking.
Apparently the US only wants rich tourists. Wonder if the 5M Trump Gold card gets that fee waved. Somehow I doubt it.
Please take care of yourself and don’t come here. Spending your money anywhere else and leaving an empty seat at the WC is the best thing for all parties.
The Gold Card is a residency permit, so unless rules change again Gold Card holders wouldn’t need visas so wouldn’t have to pay the new fee.
And I don’t think it’s that we want only rich tourists. It’s that we are treating all foreigners as criminals. If you think of it more like “every foreigner belongs in jail, but you can pay bail to get out” it makes more sense. You only get your “bail” refunded if you “behave”…
So if a family of 4 wanted to go to the US, there is an additional $1000 charge, that might or might not get refunded.
I wasn’t going to go there but now I won’t go there extra hard.
So they really hate tourists. Well, it’s their tourist industry.
But it will not be that problematic as they will missing the cheap immigrant labour in the hospitality business. The absence of foreign tourist will compensate for that.
