The whole fact that FIFA is willing to play soccer with dictators, ignore obvious human right violations and give trump a fake peace prize and over rule calls made should show that they're a corrupt organization that should be dismantled or at least completely reorganized.

    Would be nice to see them protest the corruption but for most football fans, they just really love the game. They really shouldn't have to be in a position to protest so idk if it's fair to say they are worse.

    That being said I'm a big proponent of voting with your wallet. So maybe watch all year but skip FIFA sponsored events?

    I feel like you're trolling. No, didn't go to one game or watch it. Not a soccer fan and I live in Seattle, one of the host cities. Not a single party attended.

    I feel like the guys playing with dictators, giving out fake peace prizes and fixing games are the worst.

    To be fair I don't think I've ever willingly watched a football game and I still don't think the fans are worse than the core of the issue.

    That's a whole lot of words I didn't say that you put in my mouth. I haven't even watched a single game lol
