      I’ve seen a significant lack of discussion around boycotting it. It was a huge part of the discourse around Qatar, so I wish it was a bit more widespread and “normalised” for this one as well.

        It’s not a virtue signal any more, no need to announce it.

        I live in a host city and there is zero excitement.

        No locals are mentioning it as a sporting event, it’s a hassle that’s going to fuck with transit and make everything cost twice as much.

        I have been hearing it a lot, but it is quieter and more serious. A lot more people are just doing it out of necessity or cost, too. No need to boycott something you can’t attend or aren’t allowed to attend.

      Me too, but I usually don’t watch football anyway so it’s not exactly different from standard operating procedure
