FIFA the organization has always been a bunch of shit. They're just more comfortable with fascistic models of "leadership," it's why they like Trump so much. He's getting away with all the stuff they would like to get away with, and they want to cozy up to his fetid little orbit. They don't give a fuck about the fans. If half the people have to miss the games because they don't want to get immigrationed, that's just the price they will have to pay for disobeying their masters. The FIFA leadership definitely won't be taking pay cuts if the ticket sales are down a little.
And yes don't come to the fucking United States right now. The goal of this on the Trump side, I think, is to drive away through harassment any individual who doesn't want to show obedience and subject themselves to humiliation. As always, act 3 will be when some other place in the world takes over as the popular place to be for people who have abilities and self respect, which hastens the US's collapse into a Soviet-style wreckage of infamy and ruin.
