I bet they'll do this to the ones who have a chance of beating American athletes.

I’m just honestly so confused. Do they want to expel all non-white people and non-Christian white people, refuse entry to everyone including tourists, and basically just close themselves off from the rest of the world like a population of white hikikomori?
Don't you remember learning about Germany in school? According to history disabled people are going to the camps as well. And RFK has already annonced that they're going on a list. Then it's non-straight people. And then they came for...
Yes
No they want to kill all the non white non Christian people. That's why they have a death camp
Yep.

What a swell idea, Vance! I've been trying to figure out how to persuade my compatriots why visiting the US aren't worth the risks, and it really helps when the Vice President makes my case for me. Cheers, buddy!
I wonder if the IOC will be using the World Cup as a test bed. This certainly will not go well - there will be horrific stories coming from the few athletes and tourists that DO come for some reason, and attendance will be otherwise annihilated. What are the chances that the 2028 Summer Olympics in LA get moved? They'll have 2 full years to ramp up in another city elsewhere in the world, probably one that has had the Olympics in the recent past and has the infrastructure built out already.

A joke couched in truth
At this rate, they'll deport the players. Is it too late to move the 2026 world cup?
I can 100% guarantee at least one athlete is going to be refused entry.
World cup includes tiny nations with players that are closer to your local plumber who plays on the weekends than to Christiano Ronaldo flying in on a private jet. Think Trinidad&Tobago and etc. Would definitely not be surprised when some of them get deported when stepping out of their regular flights.

Ohh, I certainly wouldn't put anything past them.
At this rate, they're gonna be deporting the prime minister of Canada, the pope, and king of England, when they visit in 2026
Or worse, meet face to face with JD Vance and die of cringe the next day.
And today in our "How to kill tourism in your country for one of the biggest worldwide events" class, we examine JD Vance and his idiotic comments about the world cup.
It’ll be like have 3 empty super bowls a day
Real shame nobody smothered him to death in his bassinet
