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.
