Even the fucking Nazis made sure Germany was as hospitable as possible to all visitors in the 1936 Olympics. The blatant Nazi propaganda, however, backfired and many people left with a sour taste in their mouths after they left.
Not a joke, not a joke.
It's almost cute that you thought he was joking.
No one in their right mind would compete here you do that.
What, you gonna deport someone because they beat us in gold JD? Fuck.
JD Vance should be deported to space with Elon to mars.
I've been to over 50 countries in all seven continents, and I've lived in four of those. Never did I feel anything that I would would describe as fear.
I will be travelling to the US for an exchange program next month. I am afraid. To the point I am actually considering cancelling what could be a career changing opportunity.
I would consider canceling any dealings with US if said person isn't white, even that is a stretch for this dogshit administration. I hope we see a general protest by making the World Cup barren.
As a sane person I am deeply sorry for any strife our government causes. Do your best to stay safe!
I am in the US, and I despise what's going on. So please do not take what I am about to say as a defense to what is happening here.
Things are pretty extreme right now, but they aren't as bad as the extreme left media is making it out to be. I find news articles posted on Lemmy are often sensationalized. There are 100% things we need to worry about, and things I myself am fighting (most everything the orange man does). But I do not think it is so bad you should cancel a big opportunity for yourself. Obviously things are happening to people, but most people are traveling to and from the US without any issues. You aren't going to hear reports about all the people who didn't have any issues while traveling.
I do not think there is reason to believe anything would happen to you. The right doesn't want you here, so they absolutely aren't going to keep you here as a prisoner. If they wanted you out, you would gladly leave on your own accord and cover all the expenses. They wouldn't spend more money making you leave if you don't want to be here anyway.
You should be concerned, the US government will change your job title to El Salvadorian Detainee whether you want them to or not.
My feelings are your feelings... but I am not planning on traveling to the US.
Is the opportunity "once in a lifetime" or can you find alternatives like Europe? Tbh things are too fucked up now, even I am afraid to travel there a few weeks to visit.
And steal their bike 
How funny will it be when all of the seats are empty? Americans don't care about soccer, this event will be funded by tourism and now those folks will be opting out. If I were planning this event I'd be livid. Vance, shut your stupid fucking mouth and never speak again as long as you live.
They'll just say the stadium was full, it was the FIFA with the highest ratings some people say. A great, big, beautiful FIFA. You know they know a lot about FIFA and some say that will be the best one. FIFA guys, coming up to him crying, saying 'oh thank you Mr. President. FIFA was nothing before you got here and now everyone's talking about it.' People didn't know what FIFA was before the president. It's true until he started talking about it no one knew what FIFA was. That's because he's the best a FIFA. In all the world no one is better at FIFA than America and the President. /S
It's apparently also in Mexico and Canada, so you can still visit matches there.
Would be funny if the stadiums in Mexico and Canada were chock full while those in the US were half empty. You'd hope they'd finally get the message.
They'd just say "soccer is woke anyway. Football ura" it's a cult and I hate it here
If you go to this you’re a fucking idiot. Not worth being sent to an El Salvador concentration camp just to watch a soccer match. Just watch it on tv.
People went to Qatar to sit in slave-built stadiums. Don't expect any morals from FIFA fans.
Yes, but they didn't have the chance of becoming slaves themselves, so the situation is different.
It didn't directly effect them. They don't give a shit how it was built.
No morals, but maybe self preservation isn't too much to expect.
If you support fifa in any way, you’re an idiot. I don’t have much hope that anybody will change their behavior.
Trump's corruprion is finding freindship in FIFA.
Didn’t the Nazis host the Olympics? Why does history rhyme?
26 is the new 36
Yeah, and lots of non arians kicked their ass. It was beautiful
I know FIFA is corrupt but does anyone not see how dangerous traveling to the United States currently is?
Soccer fans have below average concern for world politics, in my experience.
Because what we really want from our government officials is more laughing at the pain and suffering of others.
that, and to chill anyone that MIGHT come to America for the American games out of coming to America for the American games and ensure America doesnt get any of that sweet tourism money.
5 bucks says Mexico and Canada's stadiums are full, while Americas stadiums are maybe..lets be generous and say 1/3rd full, and I'd wager most of that would be from super low cost tickets in desperation to get people in the seats so it doesnt look completely empty during broadcast.
Lol the US games will be full...lots of fans here in the states
yes, hence the 1/3rd total capacity.
Cause Trump has fucked our economy, and its gonna get even more fucked by the time that World Cup happens..Which means very few people will be able to afford to travel across country and pay for event price-hiked accomodations and food to attend the games.
God, these guys are tonedeaf.
Just Dumb does not joke around.
Haha human rights violations are hilarious
This guy can't even pretend to be a normal person.
God I h8 this man and all of the gop goons. It blows my mind that I’m 2 years older than couch fucker. Yet my mindset is a complete 180° compared to him.
This is why tech bros make horrible politicians.
