       FIFA, the infinitely corrupt organization that rules international football (known as soccer in the US), has completely ripped off the North American cities that -- owing to the stupidity of their political leaders -- signed up to host the matches. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7314190/2026/06/11/world-cup-united-states-fifa-cost-investigation/?unlocked_article_code=1.p1A.4xwS.yYBNqCIrdUXy&source=athletic_user_shared_gift_article_copylink&smid=url-share-tah/t @samlitzinger
