The BBC is reporting that many hotels in the USA are not seeing the demand for rooms during the FIFA World Cup that they expected, citing the political environment, rising costs associated with the conflict in the Middle East & transport costs.... but what is missing from this report is the rise in hotel prices associated with the World Cup that was reported earlier this year.

This looks like basic economics; hotels put up their prices, demand fell!

@alex_p_roe 🤔that would be something positive, wouldn’t it? #fifa is one of the most corrupt organizations in the world like the current US government. Instead of paying football teams immense salaries we should pay teachers, doctors, nurses,… better #boycott #boycottFifa
