Aren't there a bunch of other big events planned in the US? IIRC the football world cup is planned to happen there. I cannot imagine that going well if the [email protected] and [email protected] movements continue.

Russia only had minor boycotts when they hosted. Qatar used slave labor and again had only minor boycotts. I don’t think the boycotts of the World Cup will be huge, however, every little helps.

This is different though. People aren't boycotting the world cup but the entire country. I invite you to look at the communities I posted. They have nothing to do with the world cup.
