Dear Jon Stewart & The Weekly Show Team,
I’m writing to urge you to consider using your platform to open a public dialogue with FIFA about the U.S. hosting the World Cup 2026.
In my recent articles (links below), I outline why current domestic and international tensions — including heightened militarization of U.S. streets, immigration enforcement policies, and geopolitical strains — make hosting this event at this moment deeply problematic.
Why this matters to your audience:
— A major global sporting event intersects with politics, civil liberties, diplomacy, and national image — all themes your work often explores.
— A voice like yours can shape public conversation and push powerful institutions to consider ethical questions beyond sport.
I would be grateful if you’d consider discussing this on your show or issuing a public statement encouraging FIFA to engage in meaningful dialogue about these concerns.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
