*Exciting sportsball news.

@bruces ruin international relations and threaten tourists with deportations, and suddenly nobody wants to visit your country anymore. i'm baffled how people could assume there's a connection between these issues.

@bruces I'm hoping the stands in CA and MX are packed, just to show what the world thinks of what we've become. I'm in Vegas right now and some local radio stations are trying to give away tix to LA games.

Strange that no-one wants to risk fascist kidnapping and death squads to watch a few football games ‍️

@bruces Expect lots of very tight shots of the players, avoiding the emptiness. And I imagine people who *did* get a ticket will get bumped to closer.

@bruces almost forgot about this absurdity: „US drops $15,000 visa deposit for foreign fans with World Cup tickets“.
Somehow I’d still not be comfortable travelling to USA. What if they suddenly decide to make it mandatory again? Not to speak about the threat of deportation to an almost concentration camp

Trump administration drops $15,000 visa deposit for foreign fans with World Cup tickets

Fifty countries, including five that have qualified for the World Cup, are subject to the bond requirement as part of Trump's crackdown on visa overstays.

@bruces the development entitled USA to a price of „fuck around and find out“

@bruces The article also says that FIFA like booked a bunch of hotel rooms, so there was a shortage, and then canceled them. They are hopelessly, corrupt.

@bruces New York City is giving away 50 tickets by raffle to generate free publicity. Its all over the news and my partner even got an email their union about this.

@bruces thank goodness! Everyone will be much safer that way. The games should not be permitted to proceed in a country as lawless and dangerous as the United States

Let's grow the boycott. Let's turn the US World Cup Boycott into the end of FIFA.

End FIFA!
