@DanielShustock @terrencemcd It’s a normal sports match at MetLife Stadium. They host dozens a year. All of these fans are most likely staying in NYC hotels and spending money there. You cannot compare the World Cup logistics to the Super Bowl lol.
English
@81Proud @terrencemcd They don’t pay to transport people to and from the game!
English
@DanielShustock @terrencemcd The NFL absolutely pays the overtime bill to have all those state troopers standing around MetLife. The World Cup requires a significantly higher security cost than typical events
English
@tomaskenn What are you talking about? The NFL doesn’t pay cities that host the Super Bowl! It’s up to the local municipalities to have the appropriate infrastructure in place!
English
Good to see FIFA being called out for this kind of stuff. Meanwhile in Miami-Dade, taxpayers have given more than $60 million in taxpayer subsidies to FIFA, with ticket and hotel sales now underperforming.
Governor Mikie Sherrill@GovSherrillNJ
We inherited an agreement where FIFA is providing $0 for transportation to the World Cup. And while NJ TRANSIT is stuck with a $48 million bill to safely get fans to and from games, FIFA is making $11 billion. I’m not going to stick New Jersey commuters with that tab for years to come. FIFA should pay for the rides. But if they don’t – I’m not going to let New Jersey get taken for one.

@c_omargt @terrencemcd So does the Super Bowl! And the state Will make millions from fans attending the games!
English
@DanielShustock @terrencemcd FIFA has egregious logistical & security needs, so it is not a typical event at Metlife. NJ Transit needs to overspend to service the World Cup and NJ isn’t getting much economic activity from the games.
English
@LizzieKFoley @FIFAWorldCup The NFL doesn’t pay, MLB doesn’t pay, this is a money grab plain and simple!
English
So @FIFAWorldCup seems to be working extra hard to ensure that New Jersey taxpayers and commuters develop a lifelong hatred of soccer.

@umichvoter What are you talking about? People pay to travel to the games as in any other sport! The NFL didn’t pay NJ to host a Super Bowl!
English
Hell yeah
New Jersey and its voters aren't gonna pay shit for FIFA
English
@SenatorJoeCryan This is ridiculous! Does the NFL pay every time there’s a game at Met Life?
English
Thank you Governor Sherill. FIFA needs to pay up, and be a partner not leeches. Delighted to see you speak up for this bad deal for our state!

How does it cost $48 million for 8 games? The train line to Meadowlands already exists.
Does it cost that much for Jets/Giants games?

@TomSteyer What’s stopping you? You don’t need the government to write a check!
English
Billionaires like me and big corporations need to pay more in taxes, because too many Californians are struggling to get by.
English
@GovKathyHochul When they say multi-million it’s really everybody that pays! This is another dumb money grab!
English
If you can afford a multi-million dollar second home in New York City, you can afford to join its residents in supporting the greatest city in the world.

@micah_erfan NY? California? The governor of NY literally just begged people living in Florida to move back to NY! Both NY and California will lose congressional seats in 2030!

Every time a Democrat gets elected, Republicans promise business will flee the state, and every time the opposite happens.

Ashley Moody has spent her time in the Senate creating a health care crisis for Florida families while padding her pockets and those of her billionaire friends. I’m running to end this corruption, and lower costs for hard-working families.

@micah_erfan That would be suicide for smaller more rural states! NY and California would have immense power!

🚨 Virginia has joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
This brings America one step closer to a national popular vote for President.

Everywhere I go across our state, people tell me how ready they are for change.
It's time to send career politician Ashley Moody packing and send someone to D.C. who will lower costs for Florida families and stop this unchecked corruption. I'll be that fighter.

UNHINGED Democrat Spokesperson Hasan Piker says the "biggest terrorists internationally" are Republicans. Any Democrat who refuses to condemn this dangerous and appalling rhetoric is choosing to embrace it.

@BoyForida @davidjollyfl I live in NY and trust me you don’t want the magic beans these people are selling!

Florida’s next governor. He does not fear monger or degrade certain groups like ALL the Republican gubernatorial candidates do. @davidjollyfl would be a governor for ALL Floridians; harking back to the days of Bob Graham and Lawton Chiles.

Uh, Scottie is the only player in Masters history to have zero bogeys for the entire weekend.
He didn’t “choke.”

@RonDeSantis Scottie really choked. Sad to see
