Too fucked up and corrupt for Sepp Blatter.
For Sepp Blatter.

Even a scumbag corrupt clock is right twice a day.
The World Cup is happening in my city, and today, I'm seeing stories about ICE pulling cars over and arresting people indiscrimately.
Do not come to Kansas City.
Hello fellow KC citizen!
I’m in the Northland and the Clay County Sheriff had the gall to say he wasn’t aware of any ICE activity and the pictures were probably fake bc the SUVs didn’t look like law enforcement cars and the agents didn’t have matching uniforms.
Bro. Have you even looked at the news? We’re lucky if they even state they are “law enforcement” at all? I don’t trust anything the Clay County Sheriff says.
EDIT- apparently I’ve already run into you on Lemmy bc I already had you tagged as a local, lol. So hello again!
As another KC resident, I'll second this sentiment.... there is nothing happening here worth the risk
Ty. I am not planning on traveling, but it's nice to know. I guess I should start making a "not safe" list
It is so strange to agree with Sepp Blatter.
Wow I didn't know he had the capacity to ever be correct in anything!
Most of them do
That's what I hate most about them. They know right from wrong, they're just willing to ignore that while they're getting money and power from it
He could have made real, positive change when he was the head of FIFA. Instead he helped shape FIFA into the corrupt organization of today. It's only once he's out that he's willing to say what's right
someone pumped him full adderall just for the statement, then he goes back to his "nursing home" SEDATED,
No one should travel here for the World Cup.
How many players are going to get nabbed by ICE due to the color of their skin or their accent?
If they’re murdering white US citizens in the street for demonstrating and resisting illegal arrest, imagine what they would do to brown tourists.
That's strange. I thought FIFA had presented Donald Trump with his Big Beautiful Peace Prize. I am getting confusing messages here.
As someone in New Jersey (right near the stadium), I agree. Admittedly, I would be saying that you shouldn't come here even if things were great because I don't want the added traffic and further delays on NJTransit. But with the fact that there's a potential risk, absolutely - do not come.
I have a number of colleagues in Europe that normally I occasionally see. Since ICE ramped up last year, none of them have set foot on American soil at all. No one wants to risk even legally being in this mess.
I know some Canadian idiots still going there
the first sign was trump harrassing and detaining foreigners, but that seemed to have dropped off the face of conservative owned MSMs(likely it was hurting GOP-states tourism business alot) coincidentally msm also stopped reporting on how bad tourism is doing in GOP controlled states.
Man, this summer is going to be HOT. More people come out to protest when it's warm + tons and tons of foreign nationals for the World Cup + lead up to midterms = crazy shit. This summer is going to be history, not in a good way.
Did they stop paying his bribes or something?
What, giving Krasnov a bullshit award didn't work?
World Cup 2026 events are also happening in Canada. The expanse of the US without the extrajudicial killings and concentration camps.
A part of me thinks absolutely nothing will happen at the world cup and the nazis will relax their usual terror tactics just because it's the world cup. A part of me thinks the world cup will be a shitshiw with fans and players being arrested or killed in the middle of, or before and after, games
Nazi Germany successfully held the Olympics, so I'm sure they'll get ICE to chill during the world cup.
People within the USA generally do not know what the world cup is. I don't expect any preferential treatment.
Sepp Blatter was corrupt but he genuinely was in for the love of the game. Infantino is even worse.
Meh, its easy to say the right thing when your billions of dollars don't depend on it any more.
No I mean he also really wanted to promote football across cultures and invest into poor nations to grow the sport. FWIW he was insanely corrupt but also somehow an improvement on Havelange.
For Infantino that is more of a side to the side quest. He has done absolutely nothing for football.
Oddly good advice from him. The Administration has already said they'll be targeting people that come to this. Why you'd come put yourself in danger I do not know.
Sepp of all people, when he's saying this you know things are much much worse.
I had a sepp blatter once, but I got some antibiotics which sorted it out.
Sepp Blatter should propose that the United States be eliminated as host of the World Cup. And everyone should support him, including Americans, because dirty Latinos, Africans, and Europeans are flooding their cities with un-American patriotism. Blasphemy.
…..but wasn’t the POSTUS awarded the much coveted FIFA world peace prize?!
Yeah. I don't see how ICE is going to be able to maintain its quota without royally fucking over World Cup guests.
if this guy was still in charge, he'd probably encourage more people to travel to the games because "seats might become available suddenly"
Bernie from Weekend at Bernie's looked more alive.
NO ONE should travel to the U.S. unless it is a life or death situation. Anyone going there now is an open supporter of fascism.
