They estimate 6M people travelling to watch the games? 😂 Sure. 6M people will take the chance of getting rerouted to El Salvador or shipped to a detention facility. Even if they were all white, they'd all have to be conservative and not say a single bad thing about Trump otherwise they could be put on a plane back to where they came from.
Transportation, I contend, is the least of visitors problems.
Thankfully, there is a lot of space near the stadiums to build temporary housing, solving at least a problem how to get from hotel to a game. And those parking lots are so huge, maybe even a plane could land in there too.

I'm embarrassed pretty much every day.

I'm with you, and I'll add "gravely concerned".

Me too, and I’ll add “depressed” to the list

I'll add a fair amount of righteous anger as well, and I'm not even American.

Are you deeply disturbed too?

Sports fans will still show up. No group is predictably unmotivated by anything principled as avid sports fans.

yes, but the article is about the embarrasing public transit in the us

there are some football (soccer 😋) clubs notorious for having communist or even anarchist fan bases (and there are many others with fascist bases).
i may hate football but one has to recognise historical connections of some clubs

It's only fitting that Trump is given a prize for corruption by FIFA.

Hopefully Gillette won’t be too bad - Boston has a decent amount of transit and they schedule trains to Gillette around events.
Of course it’s neither modern nor in good repair but should more or less work
