Well, yes and no. Fewer tourists means fewer $$ that many businesses rely on from tourists every year. But I know what you mean. If I were from another country I would definitely think twice about coming here.
Exactly what I said everybody stay the hell away. Because we can't guarantee if you get here from another country. You won't be put in El Salvador prison!
Also I can only imagine how disgusting the opening ceremony will be… like a mini Trump rally. Honestly I don’t have any interest watching any of it. Very difficult to feel patriotic right now. I am not proud to be an American.
It feels a lot like when in middle school and again in high school studying the holocaust and going around the room finding out classmates ancestry and being embarrassed that mine were Prussian/German. I was embarrassed.
I boycotted the 2022 Qatar World Cup over flagrant employment and human rights issues, I will be doing the same with the 2026 World Cup. No way will I allow myself to be subjected via my TV screen to what will be Trump's blatant sugar coating of the abuses in that country.
Most definitely, I can't believe they haven't already reconsidered it. I don't know what they're thinking about. Don't they watch tv read the newspapers🤣
It actually will be the greatest world cup and Olympics ever ....for the US - the #ICE-Holes will refuse entry to any team member who could win medals thus ensuring the US wins all the metals and with #Felon47's no DEI rules all the athletes and spectators will be white. (activate sarcasm font).
No argument from proud Canadians, we’re boycotting everything in and from the US. No one should risk attending, they just arrested a sitting judge, why would anyone feel safe in that country as a visitor? Too bad for the athletes but quite sure they’ll understand. Remember who to blame, your Felon!🤷♂️
All I can see if Trump standing there just like Hitler did in 1936. We can host again when our country is back to normal. Sad though, I love the Olympics and world cup
Cannot agree more. DHS is being run by thugs who are arresting and deporting actual tourists. But as the orange clown in charge said, We don’t need anyone.
I guess we don’t need tourism money either.
Might be better off holding the Olympics in North Korea.
Many of the World Cup matches are to be in Mexico and Canada. FIFA should move them *all* there. The Olympics are going to be a financial debacle for Los Angeles. Many if not most foreign athletes won't come and that's going to kill attendance.
Both could lose money. Totalitarianism hasn’t ever made the Olympic Committee avoid a country, however, low ticket sales might. I would not come to the US at this time, if I wasn’t a citizen (iffy even then).
Yes, we no longer have laws and ruled by an idiot wannabe dictator, corrupt billionaires and reject misfits. Spare the world from the maga stupidity and corruption.
World Cup would be easy! Just shift all games to both Canada and Mexico. They are considered “co-hosts” anyway. Olympic Games will be harder. I guess you could go back to Paris. The infrastructure should still be fairly easy to replicate. No to USA for both of these games!
too true and YES for your own safety DO NOT COME ANYWHERE NEAR THIS COUNTRY - no one trying to get in is safe they will chain you up and detain you its' happened already
The World Cup was already held in Dubai, in a stadium built by slave labor. I can't imagine FIFA taking it out of the US, especially not when ICE can infiltrate watch parties for countries of interest.
I'm sure Europe, Canada, Australia, Mexico are considering pulling out of the Olympics for their players safety.
This would further shake the economy because the Olympics brings in billions in revenue.
About bloody time the olympic committee was shaken up, and showed some responsibility and awareness of the lawlessness and brutal authoritarianism into which the US is descending. Human rights and safety come way before corporate billions. #Trump #Olympics

We'll be unopposed in all events.
So Canada needs to put in a bid for all US fixtures to be moved there.
This one has the best language thus far:

IOC brings Olympics back to Paris when most countries refuse to go.
Trump boycotts the Games.
He creates his own games with Russia, North Korea, El Salvador... in competition with the real games.
Moves games to Florida. Threatens NBC to telecast his games.
