P.S. - people from all over the world would not be cancelling their trips to the USA because ICE murders people if Kamala Harris was president.

The math is simple here, $100K contribution directly to Trump and he'll book all the rooms at taxpayer expense.

I plan to use FIFAilure from this point forward. Thanks for that. +1

Nah, they'd probably be cancelling their trips for some other kind of nonsense the government was doing instead

Yeah, but Kamala wouldn't immediately declare Israel to be demons, so clearly, the only option was third party or sitting out the election! /s
veronicablood
i mean, she was the sitting president of israel at the time, right?
ps238principal
Maybe if they ordered more peace prizes to people who are equally deserving of it as trump?
ChromePlatedEquator
No one could possibly have seen this coming, amirite?
inboxmefoxes
Obviously, fuck ICE, but also lol, lmao even, get fucked FIFA, eat shit. The World Cup is one of the greatest civic scams on the planet alongside the Olympic committee (who will also eat shit for the same reasons soon). It's right up there with NFL stadiums in civic scams sure, but can you imagine if the NFL demanded a host city build an entire new stadium every year for the super bowl?

Yeah, fuck FIFA...but I'm vaguely hoping that every game in Mexico and Canada are obviously sold out while the games in America are basically ghost towns. That would make me happy.

Enjoy your Trump Slump, hoteliers. You could have been raking in dough right now under President Harris.

And they're going to claim they "lost" that $600k that they never HAD in the first place because they ASSUMED they were going to have it.

If Kamala Harris was president, instead of Pedolf Shitler, tourism to the USA would be through the roof, all time highs, even for asshats in Atlanta.

Will ICE be stationed at the doors arresting people there, or do you think they'll do it at the stadium?
aloharamada
Why arrest people individually when you can save some time and resources by waiting until everyone is inside, locking the exits, creating a panic and causing a crowd crush?

Gotta wait till people have spent their money, get em comming out

Hartsfield airport, once they've spent their money and are trying to get away.

Can't wait for companies to write this up as "lost revenue" to whine they've been cheated.

Good. Fuck'em. Especially the AirBnB pricks.
southoffrance
AirBnb rents out Palestinian properties stolen by Israeli settlers and refuses to change its policy when this is pointed out.

Airbnb, where you have to pay a cleaning fee, AND clean! In a hotel you do neither.

All while people who live and work near the airbnb cannot afford a house because of airbnb.

Here's to a well deserved and catastrophic bankruptcy for the FIFA and their piss prizers.

projected revenue included inflated prices for the world cup which may have been part of low bookings...along with ...***gestures around and shrugs***

New Jersey is experiencing the same thing.

JackingMeHoff
Why? As a visitor from another country you only have a pay a $250 Visa Integrity Fee, step off your plane to be greeted by ICE agents who will arrest you, send you to a concentration camp and/or facility, then deport you to a country where you don't speak the language. Come to America, the land of the free and oppressed.

Not really. Imgur is full of bullshit. Just because its bullshit that favours our side doesn't suddenly make it a good thing.
veronicablood
only assholes yell "SOURCE" when all you have to do is type the five first words of the headline into any search engine. Lazy, worthless, dumbass pieces of sht demand someone else do it for them.

Or, you know... you could provide the source like an adult instead of defaulting to profanity and name calling.

How much did said hotel raise prices ? cuz the fleecing seem absolutely wild for this event with both parking spaces and train tickets having been upped 100% or more
ChazzK
A lot.
Oh, would you like an exact number?
A FUCK of a lot.
veronicablood
the people who can afford international travel to watch hair gel models play sportsball don't care about money. They care about getting back to whatever compound they came out of in some country that is not the USA.
TripleDane
Your stereotypical viewpoint is bordering denial.
I have a friend in Denmark that love American football. and he will ever so often save up to go to the US to see a match live in stadium. He definitely does care about how much it cost.
Both factors can be true.
Questionablysensible
If your snark was true then they wouldn't be cancelling. A world cup has, despite FIFA being depressingly bad, been in the past a celebration. But people don't want to travel to the States
Neednoggle
That's what op is saying. To paraphrase and embellish a bit; "yes the hotel probably raised their prices a lot, but that's not what's keeping people away. Those who might have spent the money to book a room aren't not booking because of the cost; they're not booking because they don't want to go to the US."
Questionablysensible
The way that OP characterised fans who would travel to the WC with the rather nasty snark describes people who wouldn't give a shit about any of that.
Neednoggle
Describes people who wouldn't give a shit about being arrested and detained by ICE?
Madalchemist2018
This is the part indicating why they're not coming; "They care about getting back to whatever compound they came out of in some country that is not the USA."
