Breaking news: boondoggles are boondoggles. Graft and corruption are bad. But...but, since we're assholes and we keep putting up with it, it is scary to see--to be reminded yet again--how money disappears, communities are obliterated, and nothing of value remains. Brazil is a giant nation, but they built football stadia out in east AND west jesus which are never gonna be needed for anything ever again. That would be an atrocity anywhere, but in Brazil it is beyond evil. FIFA is horror show, almost as bad as the IOC. These WC and Olympic hosts are in on the corruption, and the vast majority of the citizens get hosed by the whole thing.
