Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

I guess I'm more risk adverse than most because I was pretty stunned to last see the decline is only single digit % still globally besides Canada.
That's because overseas vacationers to the US buy their tickets many months ahead of time for deeper discounts and to make sure they can get a hotel room. Give it a couple more months...

Ohh, I certainly wouldn't put anything past them.
Even the fucking Nazis made sure Germany was as hospitable as possible to all visitors in the 1936 Olympics. The blatant Nazi propaganda, however, backfired and many people left with a sour taste in their mouths after the event.
You gonna deport the athletes too?
I bet they'll do this to the ones who have a chance of beating American athletes.
That's most of them.
Yeah, whilst calling them illegal migrants stealing "the good working people of americas" jobs

Everyone, go to the world cup to beat up ICE and throw them in a prison where they can’t leave.
A better tomorrow
It's almost cute that you thought he was joking.
I wonder if the IOC will be using the World Cup as a test bed. This certainly will not go well - there will be horrific stories coming from the few athletes and tourists that DO come for some reason, and attendance will be otherwise annihilated. What are the chances that the 2028 Summer Olympics in LA get moved? They'll have 2 full years to ramp up in another city elsewhere in the world, probably one that has had the Olympics in the recent past and has the infrastructure built out already.
It won't be moved, like the Olympics wasn't moved from Berlin in 1936.

I'm surprised Trump's even fine with hosting the world cup in the first place seeing as every professional footballer is a migrant by definition.

Most of the matches are in red or previous swing states, Washington is the only actually blue state on the roster, this would just be more hurting their own

Ha ha, yes, such a joker that JD. Totally not a cowardly sleazebeg acting as a "good person" and testing the waters on controversial stuff like a certain orange president likes to do... He's learning well.
I really hope this is the World Cup with the least international attendance in recent memory (should really be 0, but that's sadly too unrealistic) . Don't spend your money in the US, if FIFA wants your fan money they should relocate the world cup to somewhere without threats.
And today in our "How to kill tourism in your country for one of the biggest worldwide events" class, we examine JD Vance and his idiotic comments about the world cup.
