Young People More Likely to Expect Boycotts of US-Centric Events
A recent POLITICO poll found that young people in several countries are more likely to expect boycotts of US-centric events due to politics. The poll surveyed respondents in five countries, including Spain and France.
According to a POLITICO poll conducted before the World Cup, 14% of Spanish respondents over the age of 65 expected other countries to boycott the US-centric tournament due to politics. In contrast, younger respondents were more likely to anticipate such boycotts. In France, 60% of respondents between the ages of 18 and 24 expected boycotts, while in Spain, 45% of young people held this view.
The poll highlights a generational divide in expectations regarding the politicization of global sports events. Across all five countries surveyed, young people were more likely to take such politicization for granted than their older counterparts.
