I’d love to see a World Cup match here, but if it doesn’t make sense for the city government, it doesn’t make sense.

FIFA pretty much asked for a blank check. And legal protection, and security and caviar. Any unreasonable ask that you can think of, FIFA asked for.

Brotha a city is not a business. The point of Chicago is not to make money it’s to provide a service. Hosting a global event would be a service. And if you don’t think hosting a venue of that size can make money regardless of the “blank check” then you don’t have the first clue how these events work and you have no business commenting on things you don’t understand

Respectfully, I disagree with most of your claims. A city may not be a business, but it certainly functions like one. And if a foreign entity asks for large administrative oversight, and economic extraction from the city, a textbook case of catering to private business, without clear economic return to its citizenry. Then it really has no business inviting that institution into its social fabric in the first place. If you look at the Olympics or any other prior World Cup, they largely function…

As sport washing events, while I enjoy soccer, I have no desire for my tax dollars to go toward funding a business without clear economic or social returns to its citizenry. Secondly, I think that you’re speaking on administrative responsibilities that you’ve provided no clear counter argument for. The government of Chicago determined that without assurances the World Cup would not be viable, unless you have an economic study I’m not privy to, in which case I’d be happy to peer review it.

…just go to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or Board of Trade. Those are the local stock markets. If you’re a good conversationalist/got something else going for you, that might be where you want to be.
