        Would be nice to see them protest the corruption but for most football fans, they just really love the game. They really shouldn’t have to be in a position to protest so idk if it’s fair to say they are worse.

        That being said I’m a big proponent of voting with your wallet. So maybe watch all year but skip FIFA sponsored events?

          To be fair I don’t think I’ve ever willingly watched a football game and I still don’t think the fans are worse than the core of the issue.

            I know. Most people hate thinking about their impact. Everyone wants a villain to blame because it’s easier. Don’t get me wrong there are villains for sure, but we enable and participate in the suffering.

            Y’all go ahead and downvote.

                I was speaking in generalities. Modern living, particularly here in the US, comes at a cost most people willfully ignore or just don’t think about. Trumps and Musks don’t appear out of thin air. They aren’t funded by shadowy cabals, we fund them with our purchases and taxes.

          I feel like you’re trolling. No, didn’t go to one game or watch it. Not a soccer fan and I live in Seattle, one of the host cities. Not a single party attended.

          I feel like the guys playing with dictators, giving out fake peace prizes and fixing games are the worst.
