(341 posts)International tourists are already staying away in droves, this will only encourage more to do so. We'll be lucky to have just half filled venues. Same with the 2028 Olympics. Both are going to be a financial flop, and a PR disaster.

(41,626 posts)They already have some events planned for both Canada and Mexico, but the main events are scheduled to take place in the US this summer. These events were all planned before Chump took office and started his rampage against non-white "visitors."
There's no doubt in my mind that FIFA would never have booked their events in the US if they had known Chump would win the election (and turn into such a racist asshole.) It will be awful for some of the World Cup teams, their families, and the fans who will come here this summer. They will come in thinking they are "guests" and they will be treated as "intruders" and possible illegals.
Oh my God, it's going to be another shameful episode for Uncle Sam.
