The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?

Lot of jokes in college fundraising a few years ago that donations were down because the donors needed the money for their Jan. 6 defense cases.
Athletes, coaches and staff are panicking.
Fans do not want to come.
Teams are pressuring FIFA.
This is a catastrophe.
The US is abducting tourists with visas.
FIFA will blame them and USA will win a grotesque worthless competition, but lots of money will be made. That's all what they want.
They wouldn't.
Germany:
If trump were the fuehrer at that time, he would probably have deported Jesse Owens or thrown him in a gulag.
They can't be civil with our allies enough to trade groceries, how can they be trusted to host world events without incidents?
People starving that's a lot of meals!
Athletes time to step up too!

It’s gonna be amaaaazing!
You need millions in the streets ASAP. Bernie & AOC are the American Resistance leaders.
Be Serbia!
Hitler was smart enough to not start detaining people until after the games were done.
But I’m sure it was the DEI policies of the Hitler regime that gave Jesse Owens his 4 gold medals at the ‘36 Olympics…
The United States deserves that level of boycott.
How many people have been “disappeared” that we don’t know of - yet?????? Likely a very big number. Bigly scary.
(unless you dare criticize Trump or fear gun violence which we have zero will to do anything about)
Keyword: Was.

And the 2020 election was NOT stolen, but the 2024 one WAS.
It's seen as near treasonous to cross the border for any reason that isn't 100% necessary now
Then wondering what our responsibility is as fans who live in the US. Can I take advantage of cheaper tickets? Should I? Or is this like supporting a successful Berlin Olympics in ‘36?
We do not do a good job of teaching people ethics and empathy.
The US is still a beautiful country, currently being taken over by fascists and the far right. Probably better to stay away for the next 4 years
USA no longer deserves to host Olympics since the spirit of the games is all about inclusion ,respect and friendship! 🤷♂️
Nazi Germany hosted the 1936 Olympic Games.
Fuck almighty
Gross.
Until we destroy the fascist cancer, we deserve to be world pariahs.
It feels unsafe to do that.
