Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Stadions will be filled to the brim. For every person who takes a stand there will be millions who would love to go.
The stadions will be packed even if the US becomes an authoritarian monarchy under Trump and there is a pre-game public execution to entertain the crowds.
Filled to the brim with rich people maybe... the average person is going to either get into it with a random authority figure or end up dealing with packed crowds trying to figure out where they're supposed to go... best case scenario, even if no riots or police shootings, is someone throwing a punch because sports are dumb and make people agressive. So: loud, noisy, crowded, bad smells, no usable bathrooms, expensive, and possibility of getting into a fight or potentially even a shooting with either a random aggrivated stranger or a cop/fed/ice gestapo. Just skip it, unless you have a private plane that can land nearby and a driver to escort you to and from.
