The answer is no, because you, like every other football fan on earth believes its a joke that FIFA sold the World Cup to a host like that.
An Arab with a bag of money is no different than a caricatured Chinese with a bag of money. Imagine if a wealthy Jewish owner bought a club and they portrayed him with a bag of money and wearing a kippah. It's racist all day long, but apparently this form of racism is one of the 'acceptable' forms against money. They aren't protesting money in football, they're protesting Arabs and Russians with money in football.
There is nothing wrong with Qatar getting the World Cup? Are you for fucking real? Whats right about it?
Your argument about them protesting against Arabs and Russians is shit as well. Two of the banners (City and Chelski share one) belittle the Red Bull owned clubs (Austria Salzburg in Austria have won titles while the German Red Bull club is being funded up from the lower leagues). Red Bull are Austrian and owned by an Austrian as ''Aryan'' as the Dutch themselves.The other banner is about Vitesse Arnhem, the first Dutch club owned by a foreigner. That foreigner is Georgian. A little trawl through history will show you the Georgians biggest enemies are the Russians on the one, and Islam on the other side.
Yes, they are slating you for being a sugardaddy club.Fine if you disagree with them for that, but have the decency not to mirepresent it as an attack on Arabs.
