The country‘s fooked.
This is interesting....
Yeah someone should say go Southgate that if you want to make a statement with bending the knee and the armband don’t you think the biggest statement you could make is to get on a plane and come home!?
Racism, pure and simple.Where was all this outrage when the WC was in Russia. They were attacking Ukraine then, their athletes have huge doping issue and are also very anti LGBT.
Fifa and Uefa. These cnuts are the main problem. They couldn’t give a Rick Ross about non corporate fans who actually go to games.
Worth noting the poorly paid workers earn 3x as much as they do in their home countries. But I rarely see threads on how we should be helping the poor of the Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Nepal.They are in Qatar eating the food and enjoying the luxuries given to them by the poorly paid migrant workers . As for the bbc shithouses are they gonna give there massive pay checks to the migrants workers aswell because they feel so strongly .
2022. So we have progressed quicker than Qatar in terms of societal norms/allowances. But two things:
1.) Qatar as an independent state has only existed for around fifty years, before then it was passed around, pillar to post, even possessed in the 20th century by the angelic British Empire. It's a young country, and thus it's primitive ideals are still very much ingrained; many Middle Eastern countries are the same for the aforementioned reason. Britain, as a nation, has had centuries to iron out any perceived injustices and democratise generally.
2.) And this is the big one, which a lot of people are conveniently overlooking, Qatar is an ISLAMIC STATE. Homosexuality, whether we like it or not, is outlawed by their scripture and moreover frowned upon as a cultural/social phenomenon. It's not for us to tell them to change a key facet of their religion and way of life because they happen to be hosting a football tournament. Everyone now knows this, so if you're that offended, have zero involvement with the World Cup.
There are currently twelve states in the US that still outlaw abortion. And do you know why? Because the bible says so. That's the land of the free, decreeing law on theological foundations. Some might find that as morally repugnant as prohibiting homosexual acts. So where's the faux outrage/virtue signalling bullshit in regards to the US hosting the next World Cup?
On the spectrum of human shitness/corruption, Qatar can legitimately be claimed to be higher than us; but make no mistake, we are on that spectrum. But the UK, along with every other Western utopia, benefits from very pretty window dressing.
See we are taking thd knee again

Wow

People only seem to care about their pay in Qatar and the UAE which shows how well the media has conditioned us.
As a further FYI, gay sex between men was only fully legalised in the US after we’d moved into the Etihad.Qatar's first openly gay man was given refuge in America as an FYI.
