It's asymmetric multiculturalism. We rightly have to tolerate their cultural norms and practices in their countries but that same thing isn't afforded to us. It's pretty indicative of the West at present.LGBT fans were told not to be too ‘public’ about their sexuality in Qatar, we were all told it’s their ‘custom’ and to respect it. Well now it’s in the US, pro LGBT views are the ‘custom’ in this particular part of it so if teams don’t like it…they can always withdraw.
No argument there, never wanted it in Qatar in the first place.It's asymmetric multiculturalism. We rightly have to tolerate their cultural norms and practices in their countries but that same thing isn't afforded to us. It's pretty indicative of the West at present.
FIFA should double down and if the teams want to postpone the match, their loss.
We’ll get one in Saudi too in 2034… great.No argument there, never wanted it in Qatar in the first place.
A whole new meaning to 'mind your head!' on the way into the ground.We’ll get one in Saudi too in 2034… great.
It’s not a FIFA initiative, and FIFA clearly won’t be promoting any diversity-related events out of political correctness with the US government, which also happens to be openly hostile towards some LGBT people.FIFA should double down and if the teams want to postpone the match, their loss.
Yea but those hotels are just trying to maximise profits , so people can watch the greatest show on earth , if people pay it the prices are right
$1800 for a Hampton Inn in New Jersey, what a time to be alive
Final is having a Superbowl style halftime show. Slight problem here is that to facilitate that the Superbowl has a 30 minute break.
Not sure players will be too happy with an extended halftime for this nonsense.
Praise hostels and airbnb.Yea but those hotels are just trying to maximise profits , so people can watch the greatest show on earth , if people pay it the prices are right
Optimistically, the prices will drop because fans won’t pay it. FIFA tried this stunt at the Club World Cup and prices hit a floor.
I looked at a couple of options and thoughtWas looking to do 4 games, will scale that back now to 2 or 3 if we go…..

I’ve got a flight booked to NY now just in case we get to the final. I’d consider the prices for a final ticket just to be there.
This will backfire on FIFA, the teams with the biggest followings in Europe and South America will be priced out. The costs were racking up significantly when just considering the logistics, accommodation and just being in the US… £5k in ticket prices is just too much and in my network of ETSC members, that’s a consensus view too.
