When England won the world cup in 66 you could be jailed for being homosexual. Never mind Britain's human rights record in kenya a few years earlier
If you were an especially lucky homosexual you could avoid jail by agreeing to be chemically castrated.
I’ll start to believe the current frenzy about gay rights in Qatar isn’t a front for racism when the same journalists and pundits who are pushing it so vehemently also begin an earnest campaign to have the 1966 World Cup tournament expunged from the records.

White Christian homophobia = Good.
Brown Muslim homophobia = Bad.

The Football World Cup has in fairly recent history been held in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Russia, USA, South Africa.
All countries with much worse human rights records than Qatar but I don't remember much fuss being made..even in Russia. There is an army of ill-informed hacks currently riding the anti-Arab gravy train. Some of them are making good money out of their newly-found consciences. Why do they only have a problem with countries of Arabic origin?

agree with you here and its even worse when you google it theres no articles or much about and these so called journalists quote ammisty international well if you go look on there website theres articles damming the south africa world cup. I wounder why people like miggy had nothing to say back then as hes such an' award winnging journalist'. its laughable. Its also clear they only care when these countries have imput into a football club thats ambitious because theres no outrage about sheffield united wonder why.
 
He was a forest fan then! he is pretending to be a rag and look at him making thousands of pounds of if and even talkshite having him on there!
Its Alan Partridge at its finest. He looked at which fan base could be milked the most and there was only 1 plastic show pony in town, ripe for milking!!
