There’s so much more (taxable) revenue from the World Cup than just the ticket sales. Travel, merchandise, TV rights, sales later on from notariety, etc. Tbf I don’t have an exhaustive understanding of soccer profits so that’s not an exhaustive list, but I know a TON of money that trades hands around these events.
Ooooooooooh h8 breaking from law based rule but oooooooooh we do love money money so good
I don’t think that the French government will make money from the World Cup hosted in Canada, Mexico and the US.

So they’re bolstering the US economy for free then?
Isn’t France on of the top contenders? There’s absolutely a ton of money to be made by competing.
