Palestine is still going through a genocide and I barely see anyone talking about them. Cuba is still facing a severe socioeconomic and humanitarian crisis. Sudan is still facing a severe civil war. 1.6k+ people have been killed due to Ebola. Speak up about them.
Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
The most American shit is just throwing as many random celebrities as possible at an event without rhyme or reason. Just famous people for the sake of having famous people.
