[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Houston is both flooded and hellishly humid yet has sold out World Cup games. There's definitely no boycott. [/quote]

I don't doubt that every seat will be filled for most games. The problem for me is how ticket prices have excluded many middle and lower middle class fans from being in those seats. That exclusiveness has not always been the case in World Cups in the past. [/quote]

This is now the narrative shift that the boycott didn’t happen - and never was going to happen. At least nobody has come up with an incredibly dumb argument as to why the ticket prices are the orange man’s fault. Maybe they have and I haven’t seen it [/quote]

It's called supply and demand. If people are willing to pay 2k per ticket for a game or two, that's what the market price will be. Football fans don't "boycott" the World Cup just because the host country has an awful leader. Many football fans are however priced out of attending this year's World Cup but being priced out is different from a boycott. No one with at least half a brain is shifting a narrative or failing to understand the difference between boycott and being priced out.[/quote]
