And I don’t blame them one bit.

    Is it real? Fans didn’t skip Russia 2018 or Qatar 2022, they’re used to the world cup to be held in authoritarian countries and they’re going to be excited about KSA 2034

      There is a difference though. During Russia 2018 and Quatar 2022 the local authorities were smart enough not to bother the tourists visiting for the world cup. Do you think the ICE goons will be the same when the VP has already threatened the visitors to the WC ?
