Winners
and losers of the football World Cup
For many countries the football World Cup will
be great entertainment and fun. The party mood will depend on how the team of
the particular country achieves success. Employers will be confronted with many
tired workers, because most of them will watch the games late at night.
Completely different will be the situation for some people in Brazil itself.
They will pay the price for our summer entertainment.
Especially in emergent countries like Brazil,
Millions are invested in enormous stadiums or in streets, which are not needed
afterwards. This false investment is very annoying for people living there.
Affluent countries relinquish to have the
World Cup in their country, because they would need to invest a great amount of
money. Poor countries have to assume this job because some politics there think
that they can benefit from it. Therefore citizens from these countries have to
pay higher taxes to finance this great activity. The riots in Brazil clearly
reflect the opinion of them about the acting of the government. If nothing is
going to change in the future, sport events will solely take place in authoritarian
states.
