New Jersey’s governor, Mikie Sherrill, has hit out at Fifa after reports her state’s transport system will charge $100 for a return ticket to World Cup matches
Maybe if you had read my original post to understand the context of this post you would have seen where I wrote, “And most fans going to these matches are not living in or will not be getting hotels in NJ. NJ will bear all the cost burden but with none of the tourist income. I also wonder how much NJ was included in the NYC bid to host.” I wasn’t making a point about NYC specifically in this second post. I was talking about host cities in general. NYC is ALSO not providing free subway rides for match goers, even though they are reaping most of the benefits.
But go ahead and like you are smarter than everyone else.
