That's funny. I get lectured if I use sarcasm and don't say I am "joking", but you get a pass...
As for the word "force", it appears you now just want to debate semantics. "Mandated" is a synonym of "force". Or you could use the word "coerced" if that suits you better.
Coerced means being compelled, forced, or pressured into doing something against your will. It typically involves the use of intimidation, threats, or aggressive manipulation rather than a person's free choice .
All point to the same thing. FIFA has a ton of gall. They are literally risking the lives of the workers on top of the stadiums to cover gigantic logos up. How bad would FIFA really been HURT if they would have just ignored the logos for a few weeks? Are they that fragile? Guests should not make large demands of hosts.
