In a shocking shift in focus, activists who have been protesting the Los Angeles Dodgers' proposed stadium financing plan are redirecting their efforts towards the international soccer governing body, FIFA. The group, which had previously expressed concerns over the Dodgers' use of public funds for their stadium project, is now targeting FIFA's handling of World Cup bidding processes and alleged human rights abuses in countries where the organization has hosted the tournament. The activists claim that FIFA's practices are similarly problematic and deserving of scrutiny, sparking a new wave of protests and calls for reform. As the group ramps up its campaign against FIFA, it remains to be seen whether their efforts will yield the same level of attention and action as their previous crusade against the Dodgers.
Activists are pivoting from the Los Angeles Dodgers to go after FIFA.
