"The World Cup will bring the world to New York, so we need to manage the associated crowds and dangerous chaos by cancelling public events in our neighborhoods and warning people not to come into the city."
"Promoting work from home during the games will deny workers from experiencing this memorable opportunity of welcoming the world to the New York area for the World Cup."
"FIFA is expected to bring 1.2 million visitors to our area. Encouraging employees and visitors to stay home during the World Cup will hurt small businesses the most in our city."
Leaders in New York have sent mixed messages regarding the World Cup, initially promoting it as a celebration and economic opportunity, then warning against crowds and advising remote work. This confusion undermines the event's potential, as the city prepares for significant festivities, including free viewing parties and expanded outdoor services. Encouraging people to stay home could harm small businesses and diminish the experience for both locals and visitors during this major event, which is expected to attract 1.2 million tourists.
