The whole fact that FIFA is willing to play soccer with dictators, ignore obvious human right violations and give trump a fake peace prize and over rule calls made should show that they’re a corrupt organization that should be dismantled or at least completely reorganized.
Would be nice to see them protest the corruption but for most football fans, they just really love the game. They really shouldn’t have to be in a position to protest so idk if it’s fair to say they are worse.
That being said I’m a big proponent of voting with your wallet. So maybe watch all year but skip FIFA sponsored events?
I feel like you’re trolling. No, didn’t go to one game or watch it. Not a soccer fan and I live in Seattle, one of the host cities. Not a single party attended.
I feel like the guys playing with dictators, giving out fake peace prizes and fixing games are the worst.
I got sick of the game and use my wallet to make decisions. I still think the people corrupting the game are far worse than the fans who love the game.
I know. Most people hate thinking about their impact. Everyone wants a villain to blame because it’s easier. Don’t get me wrong there are villains for sure, but we enable and participate in the suffering.
I was speaking in generalities. Modern living, particularly here in the US, comes at a cost most people willfully ignore or just don’t think about. Trumps and Musks don’t appear out of thin air. They aren’t funded by shadowy cabals, we fund them with our purchases and taxes.
It’s actually very on-brand for that organization, and the fact that people are surprised at that speaks volumes. I think they’re mostly Americans just finding out
To be honest, they awarded the event during Trump’s first term; no one in their right mind would have guessed that he would still be in office this year.

Even worse are the rabid fans that pump money into it all.
They could easily boycott a World Cup and bring all the changes into effect.
I don’t think they’re worse.

I’m not… Your username implies you’re a soccer fan.
What’s a dictator with no money?

OK.
To be fair I don’t think I’ve ever willingly watched a football game and I still don’t think the fans are worse than the core of the issue.

Y’all go ahead and downvote.
That’s a whole lot of words I didn’t say that you put in my mouth. I haven’t even watched a single game lol

Oh, okay. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
FIFA has been corrupt for decades. The fact that people still watch them tells you everything you need to know about sports entertainment.
