German politician Jürgen Hardt (CDU) has proposed a boycott of the 2026 World Cup which is to be held in the United States, regarding Greenland.
Pausing over this....it's a curious idea.
Most breweries, pub and bars in Germany need the European Cup and World Cup (alternating every two years) to occur....for the month-long period in summer.....to help profits and business to 'survive'.
Most German bar owners will tell you that a Cup-action for a month....makes about 40-percent of the yearly income, and it MATTERS. They also do NOT want the televised action to occur at 6 AM or noon.....they'd rather have hefty consumers of beer for late afternoon or evening games.
The same crowd have gotten use to beer-gardens being used....with weather being a major factor for beer consumption. Just having a one single rain-storm cancel out the bar garden situation....could mean a 10-percent loss in beer-profits for the month.
I'm not saying this idea of a boycott is good or bad....just that brewery industry and bar-owners don't agree with the idea.
