JASON: I have been meaning for weeks to write an article with a headline like: Donald Trump and FIFA Have Really Fucked Up the World Cup, but I never really honed in on the exact correct thesis or argument to make, but I\u2019m gonna ramble a bit here in the BTB in hopes it shakes loose something in my head that I can turn into a more coherent article later. It was going to be part of a bigger piece or series of pieces I\u2019ve been meaning to do about live events in general, which make the basic argument that live ticket prices\u2014for sports, concerts, everything\u2014are simply too high, and it\u2019s an entirely artificial problem that is having an actually negative effect on sports, the music industry, and the local communities that venues and stadiums nominally are there to serve.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>This week, we discuss Trump fucking up the World Cup, some thoughts on ICE coverage, and movies.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-container-style":"default","site-container-layout":"default","site-sidebar-layout":"default","disable-article-header":"default","disable-site-header":"default","disable-site-footer":"default","disable-content-area-spacing":"default","footnotes":""},"categories":[1,9],"tags":[3],"class_list":["post-3650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ai-and-ml","category-behind-the-blog","tag-ai"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
