‘I don’t want to give my money to Fifa’: Toronto turns its back on the World Cup
For football fans in Canada, the initial prospect of the World Cup coming to town was thrilling – but hundreds of tickets remain unsold
中文導讀
Toronto 曾經對舉辦 World Cup 充滿期待,但隨住籌辦成本飆升,加上對 Fifa 嘅管理方針感到不滿,當地民眾同部分商戶開始採取抵制態度。呢件事反映咗大型體育盛事喺經濟效益同社會價值之間嘅矛盾,對於移英港人嚟講,亦係一個觀察當地社區點樣透過輿論去制衡大型機構嘅好例子。英國時間星期二,呢種對大型賽事嘅冷淡反應,引起咗國際體育界對未來主辦城市財政負擔嘅關注。
