2. Sporting events like this and others

be it the Super Bowl, Olympics, etc aren't about fans or teams. It's about who greases the most palms and who allows the tax payers of the locales to get fleeced the most for the corporate sponsors. FIFA is a multi billion dollar entity but it is the working class of the cities and countries who will pay the security, infrastructure, lost productivity, and cleanup cost. To top it all off they will be priced out of even attending the event they are footing the bill for. Say what you will about Baseball and the NBA, the playoffs and World Series/Championship, locations are based on the merits of the team, not who pays the most and has the most luxury suites to wine and dine fat cats.
