Tell FIFA to dump Aramco as a sponsor. #worldcup #fifa #soccer #DumpAramco

๐ŸŽค Whisper Transcript (en) โฑ 75s

"If you've been watching the World Cup like I have, you know just how ridiculous it is that they have had to implement hydration breaks because the planet's too hot while having the world's largest corporate polluter as a sponsor. Aramco, the state-owned Saudi Arabian oil and gas company is responsible for over 4% of the entire world's climate-damaging emissions. And they've been at it for the last 60 years. That's a long time to be polluting the earth. And FIFA bringing them in as a sponsor is a slap in the face to all of the countries competing who are dealing with the fallout of climate change. Corporations like Aramco are a huge part of the reason it's so hot and we have to stop the game for hydration breaks that were never necessary before. I can't stand it and I don't think the players like it either. And now, as temperatures are hitting triple digits across the country, FIFA is giving Aramco a platform to clean up their image. It's called green washing, but in this case, sports washing. The U.S. has given up on leading the world in protecting our climate, so it is up to us. We are going to flood FIFA with messages from now until the end of the cup, telling them to dump Aramco as a sponsor. Go to my bio to sign the pledge telling FIFA to dump Aramco. You'll get pre-written messages from Conservation Law Foundation you can send directly to FIFA right from your phone. Super easy."
