⚽💔 “Le robaron al mundo un gusto popular”
El director mexicano Alejandro González Iñárritu lanzó una fuerte crítica contra la organización del Mundial 2026:
«No siento ningún ambiente mundialero. Hay muy pocos partidos en el país, muy pocos partidos en México. Creo que el haber dispersado un Mundial en tres países me parece algo de avaricia de la mafia de la FIFA, cobró tres veces un Mundial.
El haber metido muchos más equipos ya hace una curaduría de calidad, el nivel va a bajar. El costo de los boletos me parece una grosería.
Mi padre, que no tenía dinero, recuerdo en el partido de Argentina famoso (2-1 en Cuartos de Final) contra Inglaterra en el gol de Maradona de "La Mano De Dios", yo fui a ese partido, y para que mi papá me haya invitado quiere decir que él podía pagar ese boleto.
O sea, antes había un acceso, pero ahorita el boleto más barato es de 10 mil pesos o 20 mil pesos, y si quieres llevar a tus hijos es una barbaridad. Le han quitado al mundo un gusto popular que se robaron, y ahora para verlo en la televisión tienes que pagar.
Antes era verdaderamente una celebración de un país orgulloso de ser el que invitaba al mundo, había alegría, un orgullo. Ahora, dividido en tres países, me parece una mala decisión de los que manejan el mundo de los corporativos».
Timothy Weah was essentially told to “shut up and dribble” by his #USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino after he spoke out against outrageous World Cup ticket prices.
Here he is at Zohran Mamdani’s affordable tickets press conference.
Tom Morello's speech at today's Hands Off NYC protest against ICE's abuses and the targeting of immigrant New Yorkers:
Tonight I’m in the spotlight, and aren’t you glad you came?
There’s trouble in the heartland, and immigrants to blame.
And you can keep pretending, but I know you feel the same.
And if you’ve seen the blacklist, then I’m sure you know my name.
Burn it, burn it!
Have them fucking learn it.
Make them pay for their crimes.
Adjourn it.
Never buy their racist lies.
Unearth it.
Help our brothers and sisters stay.
They’ve earned it.
The senator, he prowls his turf and marks his territory,
and with a grin he lets you in and never says he’s sorry.
There’s hunters on the prowl tonight, so leave no living witness.
Don’t make the same mistake I made, just close your eyes and kiss it.
Burn it, turn it, have them fucking learn it,
make them pay for their crimes, adjourn it,
never buy their racist lies, unearth it,
help our brothers and sisters stay, they’ve earned it.
I’m Tom Morello and fuck you.
It is great, brothers and sisters. It is great to be back in the city of my birth.
My mother and I lived at 142nd in Riverside a long time ago, and brothers and sisters, if I’ve learned one thing in all my years since then:
It’s that if it looks like fascism, sounds like fascism, acts like fascism, dresses like fascism, talks like fascism, kills like fascism, and lies like fascism, brothers and sisters, it’s fucking fascism.
It’s here, it’s now, it’s in LA, it’s in Chicago, it’s in Minneapolis, it’s in big cities and small towns, and it’s right here in your city.
These Gestapo tactics have been employed ruthlessly right here in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, whose inscription clearly:
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” That’s the promise. Here’s the reality.
Today, those huddled masses yearning to be free are hunted, hounded, disappeared, beaten, and dead in custody under mysterious circumstances.
This betrayal of humanity, this betrayal of compassion, this craven betrayal of justice must be resisted, protested, defended against, stood up to, exposed, ousted, overthrown, and driven out by you and by me.
That’s right!
A close family friend was recently kidnapped by ICE.
A grandmother, a law-abiding, hardworking grandmother.
Coming home one night from the grocery store, was jumped by masked gunmen — government thugs — thrown into an unmarked van and deported without a hint of due process.
Trump claims that immigrants are criminals and rapists.
Well, this immigrant grandma never murdered 180 schoolgirls in Iran by bombing them to pieces, and this immigrant grandma never sexually assaulted underage kids with Trump’s ruling class buddies on Epstein Island.
That’s right.
You wanna arrest murderers and rapists? You need look no further than the damn White House. That’s right!
Oh, and if you really wanna make America great again, here’s an idea:
Stop deporting grandmothers and gardeners and field workers and schoolkids, and start deporting fucking racists. That’s right.
Because in its 250th year, our country’s original sin is being revisited.
The Trump regime is demanding liberty for themselves while inflicting white supremacy on the rest of us.
But there is hope, my friends. There is hope because there is strength and courage and love and the unquenchable thirst for justice in the hearts of millions of Americans.
Hands Off New York, for example, is an inspiration and template for action.
They have courageously stood up against ICE and this terrible rising tide of state terror, demonstrating that together we must stand up for our neighbors and for ourselves, for democracy and for justice, because ain’t nobody comin’ to save us except us.
And brothers and sisters, it is now or never.
That is why right now, every act of art is an act of resistance.
Right now, every truth spoken is a beacon of light in the gathering darkness.
And right now, let every freedom song sung be a trumpet of hope to the heroes among you who will stand up and undo this madness.
Thank you.
We are living in a time where ideas are a crime, where gender is a crime, where skin color is a crime, where the truth is a crime, while the real criminals dine and toast with dictatorship on their minds and golf clubs in their tiny hands.
What is called for right now is a mass movement of peaceful anti-fascist crime fighters. It is you, so let’s go.
Let’s take the power back and adjourn this motherfucking authoritarian clown show once and for all.

Hiroyuki Sanada dijo una vez: "Hay quienes desean una piscina en su casa, mientras que aquellos que la tienen apenas la usan. Quienes han perdido a un ser querido lo extrañan profundamente, mientras que otros que los tienen cerca a menudo se quejan de ellos. Quien no tiene pareja la anhela, pero quien la tiene, a veces no la valora. El que pasa hambre daría todo por un plato de comida, mientras que quien tiene de sobra se queja del sabor. El que no tiene coche lo sueña, mientras que quien lo tiene siempre busca uno mejor. La clave está en ser agradecido, en detenerse a mirar lo que poseemos y comprender que, en algún lugar, alguien daría todo por lo que tú ya tienes y no aprecias".
