My latest for @playthegame-org.bsky.social, where I attempt a true cost carbon accounting of the Canada-Mexico-USA World Cup, and conclude that it will be the deadliest sporting event in history, producing emissions that will kill more than 70,000 people. I call this madness "Infantinocide."

The 2026 World Cup could emit nearly 70 million tons of CO2 and lead to the premature deaths of approximately 70,000 people. Yet, FIFA plans to expand future tournaments with even more teams.
