Is the World Cup worth the protests?

The obsession has only reached its halfway point, yet everyone from grandmas to Google lose their minds over the 2014 World Cup.
Unfortunately, if you are one of the 12 people who do not give a flying shit about soccer, you are more than likely going to be forced to endure fans more insane than Gary Busey.
The World Cup has been an escalator for insanity since the beginning of time. The event has incited riots, vuvuzelas, and horrible fake injuries every four years, like clockwork.
Of course, the chaos simply cannot be contained by any force, and so it overflows through televisions around the world, causing our family and friends to violently attack inanimate objects.
This year is different, though. 2014 has become a year to remember, especially for any individuals lucky enough to witness the cup live in Brazil. This year has taken every World Cup of the past and given it a swirly, as all Hell has broken lose since it was suggested to host it in Brazil.
Thousands of people started the matches off with massive demonstrations in the streets of Sao Paulo, protesting the impoverished country’s hosting status. Violence amassed in the streets, absorbing many tourists by happenstance. Coincidentally, one reporter has died and several reporters have also been injured in the riots.
One CNN reporter was hit by a teargas canister after police fired the gas into a crowd as protests unfolded seven miles from a World Cup stadium. Shasta Darlington and her producer Barbara Arvanitidis were both hurt last Thursday in an interesting outbreak of violence in opposition to the World Cup.
In fact, it appears that the riots have rung throughout other nations as almost every Brazilian loses their shit. It seems that everyone has gone crazy in their own way. For instance after losing out during an intense match, Japanese fans cleaned the stadium of every piece of garbage, drop of beer, and wiped booger, before quietly retreating in defeat.
Perhaps every violent act has been a charade in an effort to scare the Hell out of other tourists. It has all been an act in an effort to get Brazil cleaned up and looking not so dump-like. Every event leading up to the World Cup has lead to this moment. The moment when every tourist in Sao Paulo shakes in fear of being stomped to death, followed by bowing down and scraping bubble gum off of the bottom of seats.
Then again, the Japanese, unsurprisingly, have done this almost every year and have reportedly behaved in a beyond civilized manner even when waiting in line to take a piss.
Nonetheless the World Cup continues to attract more crazies than a full moon on Halloween, but what else is the world to expect from millions of people jam-packed into an already bustling city?
Undoubtedly the $435 million spent on the stadiums will only heal the poverty suffered within Brazil and have nothing but a positive influence for years to come. That’s how it went over in Sochi and Beijing. Right?
