Fifa hits back at criticism from New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, saying vastly inflated train fares at the 2026 World Cup will have a "chilling effect".

FIFA could sponsor NJT and cover the fees for the burden they're placing on these systems and how they're disrupting the commutes of the workers, but they're corrupt rich fucks and they won't, they'll just moan.

And to do what? To sell tickets that cost thousands and disrupt the daily lives of people who could only dream of attending what should ostensibly be a sport anyone could enjoy, but they've made into a playground for the rich and the elite.

Fuck FIFA, fuck the world cup.

Interesting that Biden had to negotiate with the NJ Transit Engineers heavily to avoid a strike and we're hearing nothing from them now.
