The amount of people that were voicing issues about Qatar hosting the World Cup but are absolutely silent now the US is hosting it, is ridiculous. It speaks volumes. https://t.co/xHuDUIF7Pl

That statement should be the death knell on this maniac hosting the World Cup.
If FIFA had a shred of decency they’d move the tournament to a country that welcomes every nation. https://t.co/jzU5HaTNd8

Why is FIFA allowing the U.S. to host the World Cup when the president is threatening the lives of players? At the very least implying the U.S. can’t guarantee their safety? pic.twitter.com/NoXzYw078n

Just the President casually threatening foreign citizens for absolutely no reason.

So unfortunate. Trump is missing an opportunity. Guaranteeing the Iranian Team’s safety would show that it’s not the Iranian people that are the problem. It’s the leadership.
