[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know about a boycott, but I don’t think as many people as expected will travel here, and they were counting on that because Americans don’t care enough about soccer to fill stadiums. Why would fans come here when you can go to Canada or Mexico instead? Our skies are not safe, and Trump will send his goons to host cities to round up brown people. Who would want to witness that? And I could totally see teams deciding not to risk coming here and having their players and loved ones killed or detained.

My city is hosting. People are excited about the infrastructure improvements. But I have heard lots of people say things like “…that soccer thing happening this summer.” Our mls team does have a huge fanbase, but it is very liberal. So many of us lost interest when fifa bent the knee to Trump.

I had signed up to volunteer, which was supposed to be highly competitive. I have just ignored all the emails inviting me for an interview. I have now received about half a dozen saying “LAST CHANCE to come for an interview! Last chance!” So I’m thinking it’s not as competitive as expected. [/quote]

I was really excited about it but Trump ruins everything.  Everything.  Everything.[/quote]

Yep. Dh and I were super excited and planned on going to multiple cities. Now we can’t even get excited about matches in our own city and fear that it will bring Trump’s gestapo here. [/quote]

Players and teams need to boycott....we need a loud and clear message given. Most countries are horrified but what they see America becoming. America is killing it's citizens.[/quote]
