Well, the Imperialism lies in the fact that a football organisation like FIFA, amongst other misconducts has the apparent possibility to make national states arrest women in orange dressess because there are sponsor contracts in place !!
Thats a disgrace for any democracy. Also, the building of stadiums by a state while promising better jobs and souvenir selling as well as B&B and other promises which then are not even made real is Imperialistic. The Olympics, though lesser in this manner, are also flawed.
Ever since big money took over sports it has downgraded it.
The idea that South Africa would become more stable and united because of this world cup is also ridiculous, since in a few weeks time, mark my words, the problems will still not be resolved or will be worsened.
And i agree fully with Jona that a country choosing football over remembering a very bad act of negligence which cost about 7000 people their lives should be ashamed of itself.

PS: so funny, now the news is full of those disappointed and sad fans feeling sorry for themselves, and tomorrow they will be officially celebrating the football team even though they lost.... hock:
