2. Depending on where you're coming from those cancellations could hit the pocketbooks of US hotel corps

And possibly US airlines. That will get their attention (if it's not already) on the fact that Mango Mussolini is bad for business. I don't know exactly who gets the money for tickets sold overseas but I'd guess US venue owners get a share, and unless everything is already sold out with non-refundable tickets, if they have to turn around an offer deep discounts just to fill the seats, it will hurt their pocketbooks as well. Not to mention, a massive FAIL at doing the World Cup generally will hurt IQ47's fee fees.

I don't prefer to hope for US companies to lose money *generally* but in this case? Boycott away, World!
