That World Corrupt podcast series was really good, not that I needed a podcast to tell me how atrocious the whole process was that led to Qatar. I really hate that I’m going to watch this World Cup. But I’m gonna go out of my way to avoid patronizing the companies sponsoring this travesty. I know that won’t make a bit of difference, but it will help me feel at least a little cleaner about the whole thing.

Nicely done. I came to the conclusion the other day that I'm going to simply watch the football and work hard to ignore all the other shit....and then Infantino decides to craft the single worst presser I've ever seen. Poof.

With you, Colby. I decided I am watching too.

I've been avoiding Budweiser for 20+ years - so that part will easy. The reality is, my "boycotting" would have zero effect, except maybe making me feel cool when I tweet or toot about it. The only way FIFA changes is if Budweiser and the rest of the sponsors boycott. We aren't the customers, the advertisers are.
