Anonymous wrote:The last two World Cups were held in Russia and Qatar. FIFA and wealthy soccer fans are perfectly happy to support authoritarian governments. They supported Putin. They supported the Emir of Qatar. Trump is a non-issue for FIFA and the global rich. The stadiums will be full for the major games. Rich soccer fans haver demonstrated over and over again they couldn't care less about politics or repression in host countries.

This boycott is useless. Stadiums will be full. BTW, people are on waiting lists to buy a Rolex, so that boycott is even dumber.

A-hole MAGA billionaires can enjoy their Rolexes. Most are available with the click of a button. MAGA trash watch.

Why do you love being controlled by corporations so much?

You can't anticipate why a pitcher would throw a certain pitch according to the inning and count. You don't know what the batter is trying to do. You're the old ladies that get hit by a foul ball because they don't realize that batted balls can go anywhere. The fact is that baseball players can play other sports but people that play other sports can't play baseball. It's that hard. Ask Deion and Jordan.

Stick to simple 1D sports like soccer. Just be sure to join SAG first.
