One more reason to never go there again. Lots of countries that actually want visitors out there.
Imagine for the World Cup, hundreds thousands of tourists may already have their plane tickets and hotels reservations etc.
World Cup or not, travel to the US needs to be boycott. If they could afford tickets to such an expensive venue, they can afford to cancel those tickets. This is a country at war with the world. Stop fucking supporting them!
FIFA is considering moving a lot of the games out of the US because teams are scared of going to the US.
I'll believe it when I see it.
A few sources are citing reports that FIFA is currently considering it and possibly moving the games to Canada. There is a huge pressure on the organization based on reporting due to immigration and other issues with the US.
There isn't much but I can imagine more will come out as the information does.
Yeah, if I were a nonwhite player, I'd be worried that some TSA/ICE/CBP dude won't realize that I'm there for sports and either beat me to death or deport me to fucking Libya or something.
If anybody actually needed another reason, they are ignorant fucks.
I stated playing Papers Please recently. This looks like the headlines in the morning paper in the game.
Your family is sick and hungry. You are penalized for each mistake.
Glory to Arstotzka.
MAGA labor lottery when?
This kills the tourism
Don't want foreigners in your country if you're going to commit atrocities!
Someone suggested placing tariffs on people it seems. Another good reason to never travel to the US.
Ya they just opened a new place to have all the players and audience go to.
I think it’s called Alligator Auschwitz Concentration (soon to be death) Camp.
However travelers may also be able to get the fees reimbursed, according to the provision.
Good luck with that!! ( I won't even go there if you pay me a multitude of that )
Surely, you'll get reimbursed! It's a Trump Promise ^TM^!
It’s an attempt to keep anyone who isn’t wealthy (by global standards) out of the US.
Canadians do not even need a visa to be renditioned. So convenient.
Comically, not preventing migration, just pissing off the great majority of people who might visit and spend money. So a family of 4 would pay $1000 extra. That's enough to prevent them from even booking
Good, more people will avoid going there
Like I'd want to visit this shithole
MaKe MuRiCaHh GrEaT aGaIn!1!1
Charge people who want to come see how great America is.
Arrives, find out it isn't great
How do I get a refund?
What's going on Canada?
