    The USA will be the first country to host the World Cup and lose money on the deal.

    Tourists will go to Canada and Mexico for the games.

    Only Americans will go to the USA games.

    Turns out : there’s not that many USA soccer fans.

    How do I do a put on World Cup futures ?

    And by ‘detain’, they mean arrest. And by ‘jokes’, they mean get your coat.

    I have been to the United States a handful of times.

    The two things that went through my head each time:

    My odds of getting shot just went up.

    No matter what, don’t get injured, and if you do, get your ass back to Canada.

    That’s the undercurrent of uneasiness I experienced before Trump.

    Now the United States has the Gestapo snatching people off the streets.

    I do not want to go there again, and would advise anyone to stay away from the United States.

      I live on the other side of the world, so my chances of going to the US are much lower than yours. Nonetheless, I have always maintained the same opinion.

      It is not worth going to the United States. If I say the wrong thing or step in the wrong place, I’ll be shot or sued or both, probably in that order. And if I’m injured, I’ll be financially ruined.

      If my employer wishes me to go to France or Switzerland or Japan, who they do business with regularly, I will be willing to go. But if they ask me to go to the United States, who they also do business with, I will refuse even at risk of losing my job, which I like very much. I believe it is one of the most dangerous “civilised”, “western” countries now, at least to outsiders.

        People really do be having the most wild and stereotyped views of other countries, it’s quite funny to see

        To make American great again implies one of two things.

        1. It needs to get worse before it gets better.
        2. It currently is not, or was not great.

          It clearly implies that America was once great.

          It does not imply that America has to get any worse.

          Anyway, that’s all moot. It’s really all just racist dog whistling.

    As an American it’s another reason why I think we should be barred from hosting world sporting events. Also why the Olympics should be moved. The US is not to be trusted.

      No, they need to go ahead and go through with it, and then watch their Olympians get detained by the American government, and the backlash would be glorious

    For real. If I wasn’t already here, I wouldn’t come to America for any reason. The odds of being detained and / or hassled have skyrocketed. Of course it’s exponentially worse if your skin color is on the darker side…

    Fuck I hate this government.

      At this point I wouldn’t even be surprised if they detained me on the border for being too white. It’s suspicious! What am I hiding?!

      I don’t think I’ll be visiting your beautiful country in the next few years unfortunately.

    The way Nazis would’ve joked about “gas leaks” in the chambers or some shit. It’s like they want to be as despicable as they can be.

    They don’t fucking joke, they are laughing when they say it because they are evil maniacal Nazis.
