FIFA fires back at New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherill over demand to pay for World Cup transit tickets
FIFA responded strongly to New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherill after she posted a critical video saying that FIFA should pay for fans' NJ Transit tickets to World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium this summer.
In her video, a response to "headlines" about reports of $100 train tickets, Sherill said FIFA "should pay for the rides" since NJ Transit is getting billed $48 million, while FIFA will make $11 billion.
FIFA said it was "quite surprised" by Sherill's "approach...on fan transportation"...
