06.12.2025 16:28 โ ๐ 14 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Did any *countries* boycott? I donโt think they did. Whereas with the Eurovision, several participant countries are boycotting.
Thatโs a more advanced level of boycott. Itโs at state level and arguably happening BECAUSE of previous boycotts by individuals & local teams that you imply donโt work.
Was there a boycott? By whom? Donโt remember that?
06.12.2025 15:58 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Itโs so true. (And it applies to Trumpian politics too!)
06.12.2025 15:21 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0No. More a general comment about how you can avoid things you like if the ethics of the situation (the organisationโs actions or the kind of participants it allows) conflict with your own ethics.
06.12.2025 15:19 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yes. Having ethics is hard work. ๐ But FIFA (in particular) has been corrupt and corruptible for decades without any accountability. Thatโs on the supporters.
06.12.2025 11:29 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Haha. Even if itโs easy itโs still a boycott.

Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesnโt want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.
Shameful.
