While this tragedy should not be used to chase clout, it has nevertheless reignited discussions about America’s ability to safely and successfully host the world’s biggest sporting event. Security concerns are only one part of the conversation.

Now, with political violence making global headlines, football fans are asking tough questions:

Or should FIFA consider relocating the World Cup to a country better positioned to host?

Rip to Charlie Kirk!!!
