So yes, I get this and the sentiment behind it is obviously coming from a really good place. HOWEVER, this is a bit like saying “I choose not to watch the news because it’s too depressing” or “joy is an act of resistance”. Choosing to support FIFA in any capacity is choosing to support those disgusting old white guys alongside their greed and corruption, full stop. It’s completely enmeshed and impossible to separate.
Ofc the players have worked hard to get there and it’s a huge deal for them, so don’t they deserve a better environment as well?
By boycotting/protesting/educating people on why FIFA is corrupt, perhaps we can effect change (a girl can dream) so that the players can work in a safer, less morally bankrupt environment, fans can enjoy the festivities without supporting the atrocities that come as a direct result of FIFA’s actions, and men like Infantino, Trump, and everyone else involved finally lose the spotlight they so desperately crave.
