Kansas City wasn't an attack. It was a dispute between juveniles that escalated to gunfire because there are groups of youth who have no emotional control and little to no positive role models in their life.

The Saudi Arabian state executes journalists, political dissidents, gay people and migrants yet they were awarded the 2034 World Cup. Can Saudi Arabian guarantee the safety of gay athletes and spectators at the 2034 World Cup?

Maybe the standards for the World Cup are nonsensical and purely based on corruption and greed of those who approve the hosts.

It is a very reasonable question.

We Americans tend to think of our country as more advanced. But this post's title's question urges a different perspective. Our gun violence problem may disqualify us from hosting international events!

Should state ordered executions of gay people disqualify countries from hosting the World Cup as well?
