Corporate organizers completely ignore the deadly reality of a burning planet. A lethal summer heatwave currently scorches World Cup host cities across North America. Temperatures consistently push past 100 degrees Fahrenheit during afternoon matches. FIFA forces the athletes to sprint endlessly in this absolute furnace. They force the working-class fans to bake in the exposed, unshaded bleachers.

Luxury for the Elite

Meanwhile, corporate sponsors and politicians hide in luxury VIP suites. They enjoy pristine, freezing air conditioning and endless iced cocktails. They watch the peasants sweat and suffer through the reinforced glass. Stadium vendors charge extortionate prices for basic bottled water. They actively profit off the desperate thirst of the ordinary spectator.

Ignoring Climate Collapse

The sports industry pretends global warming does not exist. They schedule outdoor tournaments in the middle of a deadly climate crisis. Medical personnel treat hundreds of fans for severe heat exhaustion daily. The tournament generates billions of dollars, but they refuse to build shaded stadiums. Human lives mean nothing compared to lucrative television broadcast schedules.

The elite watch the world burn from an air-conditioned room. Read the brutal truth at The WAU.
