The comparison matters because high-carbon sponsors are typically protected by the same "we can't afford it" argument.
This means that - despite the harm they cause - fossil fuel companies, airlines, and unsustainable car companies get off the hook.

NEW PIECE: Football said it couldn’t afford to lose gambling sponsors.
Then twenty Premier League clubs started this season without a front shirt betting sponsor
Football did not collapse. So why do many view high-carbon industries so differently? 🧵

“Missouri, Georgia, and Florida each passed legislation exempting World Cup ticket sales from state and local sales taxes, a condition FIFA had set for host-city selection. The public absorbs the loss: the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy estimates that Georgia stands to forgo as much as $25 million in revenue, Florida some $7.4 million from the Miami matches, and Missouri roughly $1.9 million for each of the six games at Kansas City. It is for these reasons that Chicago, the third-largest city in the United States, refused to host 2026 matches after officials concluded it would leave the city in debt.”

“FIFA’s revamped commercial program ahead of 2026 generated more advertising and sponsorship revenue than any previous standalone sporting event—all before a ball was kicked. The asset underneath this, the audience’s attention, only continues to appreciate.”

Pausa para hidratação: "Os americanos vão dividir o jogo em quatro tempos, em vez de dois, para colocar comerciais", previu Diego Maradona em 2018. "A emissora Fox deverá arrecadar cerca de US$ 250 milhões apenas com os anúncios exibidos nesses intervalos."

Para @phenomenalworld, una interesante pieza de @Fred_Daley @PierreWokuri y James Jackson sobre la creación de la máquina comercial de la FIFA, el lobby de Arabia Saudita y el Mundial como negocio monopolístico.

As the World Cup draws to a close read about how FIFA uses the tournament for its own gain here 👇👇👇
New essay from me, @James7jackson and Pierre Wokuri in @phenomenalworld on how FIFA has turned the World Cup into a commercial vehicle for statecraft. The critique has nothing to do with England being knocked out.

NEW ARTICLE: Denmark is often celebrated as a template for phasing out fossil fuels. Yet in this new article, I coin the term “fossil-fuelled leadership” to conceptualise when climate leadership on fossil fuels is twinned with continued extraction.
