oh jez… wow. yeah, I wonder how the World Cup attendance will be impacted by the um, current administration 🙄

buffgrl.bsky.social•28 days ago

I mean, Russia and then Qatar weren’t exactly choice spots but they still generated a lot of revenue. So, we’ll see!

poorly attended WC is pretty unheard of isn’t it?

arlondiluthel.bsky.social•28 days ago

It won't be poorly-attended. Tickets will simply be more affordable for Americans who wish to attend a once-in-a-lifetime sporting event (as in the event is in our own country for once).

dagsix.bsky.social•28 days ago

Maybe. I wouldn’t assume that. Canada and the US doesn’t have the rabid fans in other nations… Look at Nations Cup attendance…

buffgrl.bsky.social•28 days ago

Right!! That’s a great point. I bet Canada gets more people than we do…

Okay, so a different take is , my money hungry country had a chance to make a shit ton of money from tourism but now they won’t due to their own stupidity about foreigners.

dagsix.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yup. And getting to host is a big deal. May never get it again if there are, complications or poor attendance 👎🏼

buffgrl.bsky.social•28 days ago

I mean probably, but these are unprecedented times!!

dagsix.bsky.social•28 days ago

ha. true enough. 😃

Hopefully Norway qualifies this time, so we can say that we do not come either.
