World Cup is entertainment, that's not a pejorative. It has social/cultural value that transcends biz, but it's a luxury item. "Prawn sandwich" lament is nothing new. Unless it's all free tix in open lottery, someone's always priced out/excluded. Also, "true" fan is subjective.
@meganjrenee 100% true. All mainstream politics is centrist now. The left/right traditional settings don’t exist anymore. I gave up with the labels. Now I try tend my own garden and perform random acts of kindness.
