Amnesty International warned on Monday that this summer’s World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico risks becoming a “stage for repression”, urging FIFA and host nations to protect rights. FIFA said it aims to ensure all participants feel safe, included and free to exercise their rights.

I want to believe but I think you’ll just see mildly lower attendance and all the issues being swept under the rug like the Olympics and the 2022 WC in Qatar.

Yeah I think you’re right. The pessimistic side of me wants to be optimistic.

The same FIFA that bribed Trump with a shiny trophy is going to protect participants rights?

lol

Part of me hopes this is a disaster so USA and FIFA lose a ton of money but I don’t want anyone to get hurt.

If you were FIFA, what are your options? I hate the award but I can see it as one of their few options to try to lean him away from ICE operations effecting the teams or fans

FIFA, IOC are probably more corrupt than trump.
