Time to start considering a boycott of the 2026 World Cup?

BREAKING: US voted against Ukraine's UN resolution which branded Russia the "aggressor" & demanded withdrawal of its troops.

US on list of 18 nations also incl Russia, Iran and North Korea to vote against.

UK & most European nations among 93 states to back Ukrainian resolution. China abstained.

If we make it...

reddevilssupptr.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes. Had boycotted Qatar.

Olympics in L.A in 2028 too. You can't call yourself a proper fascist regime without a summer Olympic Games to demonstrate your genetic superiority.

And the next Olympics if need be...let's not give him his Munich moment

I hate football so I'm in. Minimal effort needed.

You weren't already there after Qatar and Saudi Arabia? Or one tournament, three continents? FIFA don't do democracy or human rights. Or climate change apparently.

Fair, but games are also being hosted in Mexico and Canada, and governments in those countries are spending a ton to invest in the required infrastructure (though based on what I see here in Toronto, this is not popular).

Yeah we support fascism because not doing so will cost another nation

steviestevew.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’ve been boycotting the World Cup for years.

In fact, all football for decades.

I don’t like football

It’s silly

alannfylde.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah

virginiagjh.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yep

lindachandler.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oh everyone should play the matches in Canada and Mexico - only!

But that would mean flying over the states, a bit of a risk now never mind then.

After having a wonderful Florida Disney family holiday in 2023, we were planning to try for WC 2026 tickets for our 2nd USA holiday. Signed up for FIFA membership and have been getting all of their annoying promotional emails.
Now, no chance I will visit the USA again with the fascists in charge.

ianford.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes.

dumsch-goldie.bsky.social•8 days ago

As I’m from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I don’t think I need to worry too much about the WC 🤣

wheresmekeys.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, you could go to the Mexico and Canada fixtures

I was thinking we could distract Trump with preparing for the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics and stop breaking shit? Maybe his vanity can get us some good infrastructure out of the deal so the world doesn't laugh at us. Just a thought.

gargarin.bsky.social•8 days ago

Think it'll be easier to choose the ones I'll actually watch these days

sweetcheesedreams.bsky.social•8 days ago

Do we have to start questioning Fifa - cause or effect? Which one of Spain, Portugal or Morocco is going to turn?

mo-fitzgerald.bsky.social•8 days ago

And every Israeli game.

northernwrites.bsky.social•8 days ago

The one where they are cohosting with Canada and Mexico? There's more chance of it happening in *points to countries currently engaged in wars that aren't of a car makers making*
