I remember the U.S. women’s soccer team in the late 90s had a lot of support. Why should I care about a women’a who bash the country and has a man lgbt activist as their leader
FIFA President Gianni Infantino implored New Zealanders to purchase tickets for the women’s soccer showcase.
“New Zealand, we want you. We need you,” Infantino said during a news conference Wednesday in Auckland.
“It’s never too late to do the right thing. Come to watch the matches. We need full stadiums to warm us all up,” he added, emphasizing the significance of enthusiastic support from the home crowd.
How sad when the FIFA President is begging people to buy tickets to watch inferior competition because it is the "right thing to do."
Then why aren't you giving the tickets away for free you dumb corrupt fuck?
As part of the efforts to entice fans to attend the matches, the accounting firm Xero, an official partner of the Women’s World Cup, offered 20,000 free tickets for games in New Zealand’s four host cities, according to CNN.
While the complimentary ticket allocation has been fully utilized, the remaining tickets left unsold indicate interest in the event remains low.
Don't worry though, the AP is here to cuntsplain what is going on for us:
“A larger problem,” it said, “is that soccer is not generally a widely supported sport in New Zealand and attracting fans to stadiums in the coldest months of the year was always going to be a hard sell.”
This quote also girds into the same territory as all the Hollywood types calling fans racist when shitty movies do shitty at the box office. Not as explicit or as angry, but kind of a lighter touch version of it. Still directly blaming and calling out the people you’re supposed to sell the product to.
I guess there’s two interesting things there. One, there’s very recent precedent for adjusting a World Cup based on local climate since they just moved the last Men’s tournament to the wintertime so it could played in Qatar with decent temps instead of boiling desert inferno heat in the summer. That they didn’t adjust this to the southern hemisphere summer just feels like they knew there was no point, since no one would show up anyway.
Two, it’s telling that he’s begging a host country’s people to come out. The World Cup generally pulls in rabid fans from every country on earth. If you’re down to begging people from the local area to kick in a few bucks, you know you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Edit to add: Infantino is woke as shit as well. It shows through a bit here with “do the right thing” by watching women’s sports, but when Qatar kept getting called out for being awful in all the ways Qatar is awful, including exploiting migrants and hating gays which you’d think wokesters would hate, he said all these white countries have bad histories so they can’t talk, and I know all the woke retards at my school cheered when he said that.

They're also probably in a place where 90% of the world has the longest possible flights to. If you're outside of Oceania those are all long haul and super expensive.
Had this been in somewhere in Europe these seats probably would have been sold simply because it is close and "something to do."
The right thing to do would be to not be sexist and split the just as good and awesome women from the male league, excluding them. One league, no bullshit gender rules, best of the best only. Then tickets will sell.

Women's football is having trouble remaining financially viable? How could it be? Megan Rapinoe had a good quote about this.
"I deserve this. I DESERVE THIS!"
Yes, you do. Your wages are failure and financial ruin, and I demand that you take them.
you have no moral claim to my money, ballkicker.
The right thing is to not spend money on things I have no interest in.
KEKW that's some good copium
Women: weh it's too cold to go to a stadium.
Men: https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1237186306/photo/a-shirtless-newcastle-supporter-sings-in-the-crowd-ahead-of-the-english-premier-league.jpg?s=612x612&w=gi&k=20&c=uNwDxxuPM2FZ1ZwiqlWSk8m1QWbv2Mehuom-BB8Ht-Q=
buy a ticket and get free case of bud light

Even within Oceania, it’s pretty fucking expensive to fly to NZ, from here, or even to the West Coast of Aus, so…
I literally would go, but I can’t afford it, lololol…
Might still go to one or two Matildas (Aus) games, but making more of a commitment to it than that..? Simply isn’t financially viable.
So… Yeah, not particularly surprising.
At least the European teams mostly do still look like actual women, though, unlike the bulldykes out of the US, Aus, NZ, etc…
Ironically the Matildas did a nude calendar, back in 2000, to fundraise… And it was actually decent
Before they were comprised of a bunch of bulldykes, that is…
Ah, those were the days. Some of them even got a media career out of it.
Now? We live in some sort of reverse clown land, so you’d never see that these days, lololol…

If our women’s team wasn’t woke, this wouldn’t be a problem.
I didn't care at all about the World Cup last year, so why would I care about the World Cup this year?
Try playing naked.
(Archived) It's not exactly that, but it's probably the closest we'll ever get, sadly...

Once again, women make up 50% of the population - if they wanted to watch this the stadium would be packed.
Its cool. Mens soccer can carry womens soccer on their backs.
No. Not even if you pay me a plane ticket conditional to attendance.

This is what the TERFs are trying to protect from trannies?
You couldn't even pay me to go watch that shit.
