Amnesty International warned on Monday that this summer’s World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico risks becoming a “stage for repression”, urging FIFA and host nations to protect rights. FIFA said it aims to ensure all participants feel safe, included and free to exercise their rights.

    The same FIFA that bribed Trump with a shiny trophy is going to protect participants rights?

    lol

    Part of me hopes this is a disaster so USA and FIFA lose a ton of money but I don’t want anyone to get hurt.

      If you were FIFA, what are your options? I hate the award but I can see it as one of their few options to try to lean him away from ICE operations effecting the teams or fans
