I watched this girl a while back, and while it does suck and the people suffer, it happens every time, everywhere. Even at Eurovision in 2012 protestors outside the stadium in Baku were all beaten and arrested for voicing their opinions on the government destroying their homes to make room for the contest, and the world did not bat an eyelid. Not going to the World Cup is not going to affect the morons in leadership positions (who the people likely didn't choose) that are and always will be in it for money.
