I’ve seen a significant lack of discussion around boycotting it. It was a huge part of the discourse around Qatar, so I wish it was a bit more widespread and “normalised” for this one as well.
It’s not about virtue signalling, it’s about a sense of coordination which enables people to feel it’s “worth it”.
Often people don’t do something that is an inconvenience if they feel like it doesn’t matter/make a difference. So a sense that it is a “thing” could help motivate others.
I have been hearing it a lot, but it is quieter and more serious. A lot more people are just doing it out of necessity or cost, too. No need to boycott something you can’t attend or aren’t allowed to attend.
Personally, I’m boycotting the World Cup, so…
Same. My apathy of football is suddenly a virtue.

It’s not a virtue signal any more, no need to announce it.
I live in a host city and there is zero excitement.
No locals are mentioning it as a sporting event, it’s a hassle that’s going to fuck with transit and make everything cost twice as much.

Me too, but I usually don’t watch football anyway so it’s not exactly different from standard operating procedure
In any case, it won’t deflect attention from Trump’s crimes.
