Seriously boycotting

Excuse my lapse into cheering rampant nationalism yesterday – here are some serious links to Boycott calls and ongoing coverage of protests in Brazil:

Brazil's dance with the devil - a book which 'should be required pre-reading for any high school student or adult planning to watch the 2014 World Cup games or the 2016 Olympics. Drawing on extensive interviews with Brazilians, Dave Zirin focuses on the history of soccer and the economic impact for the rich and the poor of both international competitions.'

https://www.facebook.com/events/672612186139617/?ref=22 - Call for a global World Cup boycott, where Benno Manzer writes:

Do not get me wrong, I have nothing against football, but it should not be done this way.
Nobody should suffer during the organisation of such an event. Each and every time you switch on the TV to watch the game, you are indirectly supporting those people's suffering. So i beg you to keep your telly switched off and buy no merchandise!
As consumers, let us do something about it. Let's give it a try, let's just try a little boycott. Let's see whether certain organisations, at least in the future, provide better conditions for the preparations unlike in Brazil or Qatar. We must, however, be strong enough.
