FIFA HAS THE CHANCE TO DO NOT ONLY THE RIGHT THING, BUT ALSO THE FUNNIEST THING EVER BY TAKING THE 2025 WORLD CUP OUT OF THE UNITED STATES
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL WRITER, SO DON’T CALL THE GRAMMAR POLICE ON ME. ALSO, FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW A MERKIN IS A PUBIC WIG THAT HOOKERS USED TO WEAR TO COVER UP GROSS STUFF SUCH AS STD’S. CARRY ON.
Once again JD Vance couldn’t act like most normal vice presidents of the United States would but instead decided to make himself look like a Victorian era prostitutes merkin that he usually portrays himself as in the spotlight when he couldn’t refrain from making an unnecessary joke about detaining visitors who will be visiting our country next summer during a meeting of the White House Task Force on the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday.
"I know we'll have visitors from close to 100 countries, we want them to come, we want them to celebrate, we want them to watch the game," Vance said at the meeting of the White House Task Force on the FIFA World Cup 2026 on Tuesday.
"But when the time is up, they'll have to go home, otherwise they'll have to talk to Secretary Noem."
Even if said in jest by a very unprofessional man who may or may not wear eyeliner, these comments should act as another nail in the coffin for FIFA doing what could be the funniest thing ever which would be to strip the United States of their World Cup hosting duties and allowing America’s two once allies that the Trump administration has repeatedly tried to bully, Canada and Mexico, to act as co-hosts for the global event.
The FIFA World Cup is more than a global event; it’s a competition that brings unity to the world over a common love of sport. Hosting such an event requires a stable political and social environment, something that the United States has lacked since Trump took office in January, so much so that several countries have issued travel advisories for the United States, urging their citizens to exercise caution or even reconsider travel due to concerns about stricter immigration enforcement and potential legal complexities.
With FIFA still sporting a black eye from years of corruption scandals and neglecting human rights stances in choosing host countries, bumping the United States from the three-way hosting duties it’s slated to share with Canada and Mexico would go a long way in restoring FIFA’s tarnished reputation, while providing a welcoming environment for players, fans, and media from around the world.
While losing one of the, if not the biggest, sporting events in the world would be disappointing, especially for those host cities who are looking for a quick shot in the arm to their economy, it’s not nearly as seeing our country align itself with dictators as it attempts to become a pure oligarchy.
Do the right thing, FIFA. Since Trump thinks everything is a joke, let's give him something to laugh about.
