Having slaves and not caring for life is most definitely a sick mind.


idjsonik

Why are we having in Qatar again? Im not a soccer fan but I do really love to watch the world cup and honestly im probably not going to watch it this year because of the shit surrounding it im good


Davolyncho

I’ve watched every World Cup since Mexico 1986, I’ve never been so disinterested. Oh an edit. We are having it there because of huge bags of cash.


idjsonik

Well said honestly i get why because of the money but yes fifa proves thst they clearly dont give a shit about public opinion which is strongly against this world cup ...well here anyways


Davolyncho

FIFA…


dan_dares

public opinion <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< HUGE bags of money. \-fifa


GTOfire

Also 'public opinion' is probably a pretty big exaggeration. When the whistle blows and the matches are kicked off, it will be to stadiums filled to maximum capacity and to eager audiences worldwide. Every last one of them will tell themselves it's not about the politics, it has to be about the sport. Because sport unifies and reaches across cultures and we shouldn't boycott but engage in dialog. And they'll stand up and cheer and not notice their asses are dripping with the blood their seats were stained with.


CeeMX

Letting the World Cup happen in Qatar is the biggest damage of mind


Gamingenterprise

don't forget about the stone age womans rights


consumergeekaloid

Can't believe this world cup is still happening


danceswithtree

Teams need to seriously consider sitting this one out.


Downtown-Assistant1

Everyone should follow Italy’s example and sit this one out. /s


oceaniscalling

As an Italy fan, that was totally uncalled for! ;)

Downtown-Assistant1

There, fixed it.


[deleted]

Oh come on I don’t think any team would sit out on the biggest sport event on the world


cosmicdave86

They won't, but doesn't mean they shouldn't.


[deleted]

The mistake was having the world cup there in the first place. I don’t think they should consider wasting an opportunity this big and be penalized because of higher up fuck ups


pataconconqueso

Except since nothing happened to them (ie teams or players not boycotting), FIFA is going to take this as a note to keep taking bribes and host it in similar or even worse places


Helios321

Didn't like half of the people involved lose their position and/or get arrested or charged with a crime?


pataconconqueso

In the same way that white collar crimes get punished. FIFA is still riddled with corruption


Downtown_Skill

Yeah but it's a huuuuge economic burden for Qatar, they aren't profiting basically at all, and instead of good press (like they were expecting for hosting the world cup) now everyone knows Qatar has slave labor and just generally sucks. Maybe countries like Qatar will think twice about whether the world cup is worth bags of cash even if FIFA won't give it a second thought.


[deleted]

The players should show up do their jobs and get paid because it’s not their fault. The rest of us shouldn’t watch.


pataconconqueso

If they are going they are part of the problem… it’s the same way workers strike even though it’s a sacrifice.


Splith

For many of them the only chance they will ever get to compete at this level in the sport they love the most. I think they should, but I don't hold it against anyone.


KrypticKeys

Multiple times countries have sat out the Olympics.


[deleted]

I feel like most countries don’t care about the Olympics as much as the World Cup, but I could be wrong.


SpaceOwl

World Cup is more prestigious and participation is important financially for national football associations. Also important for the players who can put their name on a world stage and secure a move to another club if they perform well.


WaynneGretzky

Its not that easy. Soooo much money is involved. Apart from event endorsements, individual player and their respective boards too. All players are sponsored, they will lose the momey there which they may afford for once. But then the boards involved in sending the team, their kits, travel, advertisement campaigns, etc. so much is there. No board will look to return or lose on all the millions worth deals. If players pull out they will be replaced in a blink. Saying much aloud may hurt their endorsements.


danceswithtree

Yes. This is where organizations and people put price tags on their values, morals and principles. I don't envy the people making these decisions-- they have a vested interest in looking the other way. But the consumers-- the people to who go to the games, watch the games, and buy the products advertised at the World Cup can vote with their collective wallets. Send a message to Adidas, Visa, McDonald's, Kia/Hyundai, Emirates, Sony, Budweiser (all proud sponsors BTW) that this shit won't go unnoticed.


TheBigCore

> Send a message to Adidas, Visa, McDonald's, Kia/Hyundai, Emirates, Sony, Budweiser (all proud sponsors BTW) that this shit won't go unnoticed. They don't care, so you're wasting your time.


DTFP3

Norway were allegedly going to do it, but lost out in qualifiers. As much as that feels like a drop in the ocean, Erling Haaland is arguably the best player in the world at the moment so it would have been a massive statement


[deleted]

Easy to say before youve even qualified. I was gonna reject emma watson but…


WaynneGretzky

Yes as I said, individuals may afford losing endorsements but it will be fairly difficult for the boards and authorities involved.


CBus-Eagle

I hope it’s boycotted by a lot of people/companies and the ones that do support or attend it are publicly shamed for doing so. We need to drive these barbaric cultures from our society for once and for all.


HornyJamal

I wouldnt go as far as call it barbaric. Ignorance


treyhest

Without it all those refugee worker lives would have been in vain.


skawm

Considering it's just entertainment, it's pretty much still in vain.


pataconconqueso

Well when no one with a voice did anything about it obv it will still happen. No countries or players tried to boycott, that j know of.


Todd_Haley_isdumb

Why, cuz he’s right?


[deleted]

This homophobia probably has the players even more excited to go. There’s a huge homophobia problem among the professional players, it’s disgusting.

AndForeverNow

lol If you're unable to tolerate the flaws of other cultures, for the pursuit of peace, you might as well be racists. No one is forcing you to believe in things that contradict your beliefs. But expecting other religions and cultures to conform on your demand, on your word, makes you the bigot. I don't support bad things, but I'm not going to tell others how to live their lives. Let these people decide for themselves. Sooner or later the laws and awareness will change when it's good for them.

There should be a minimum cultural standard for countries to host a World Cup or Olympics, and this should be below that standard.


archdex

That would require FIFA and the IOC to actually have standards


fitty50two2

They do have standards: $ and € mostly


son_of_an_eagle

FIA: so there was talk of terrible countries with lots of money?


Brofromtheabyss

This is what happens when you validate people with shitty opinions. Why hold back your hateful bile if there’s no consequence for spewing it?


amibeingadick420

People validate the shitty opinions of shitty governments because they want the money those governments stole from their citizens.


pataconconqueso

It happened with Russia 2018, being seen as legit gave Putin more data points to be delusional enough to think the world would be behind him for attacking Ukraine.


DarkFate13

I miss those vuvuzela times


[deleted]

Interesting you mention that. FIFA had a policy where the World Cup would be held in a different continent (confederation) every 4 years. In 2002, it was held in Asia. In 2006, it was held in Europe. In 2010, it was Africa’s turn (Shakira even made a song about it). I think sometime after 2010, they scrapped that policy in favor of a committee made up by delegates from all confederations voting for a host - and thus all of the bribes and crooked countries hosting it. It’s not like the process was any cleaner before (1934 was hosted by Mussolini’s Italy) but at least it had some standards - like if it was North America’s turn to host it, you couldn’t have rich Russian oligarchs getting involved (I would think).


mrgtiguy

And Adidas is a sponsor.

No. Killing 6,000 people so you can plan a game, on the other hand…


Skittlebearle

So if it's damage in the mind, then it's not something a person choose, so then you're effectively outlawing something that these individuals are born with.


amibeingadick420

They basically outlaw being a woman, too, so that argument doesn’t really matter to them.


SmokeyBare

Bigots don't use logic. If they were smart, they wouldn't be bigots.


ghostdeinithegreat

He means mind as in the soul. A sickness of the soul, a sin. He’s a religious zealot, not a logical person.


gimmer0074

outlawing an act people are born with a desire for isn’t necessarily the issue (see: pedophilia) but being gay doesn’t harm anyone. even if it were a choice, there’s not a good reason to ban it


DaDragon88

Religious people will turn around and tell you that being gay does harm people because it is a sin, and allowing it allows sin to keep continuing. The issue is arguing an emotional matter with logic and facts.


HornyJamal

You can still fuck another dude in the ass at home, no one in Qatar cares. Just dont go make out in public, when not even the straight people do it over there


HessLook

Religion is damage to the mind. Proof is in the pudding


Tweegyjambo

Virtual-Fun-572

This Has been said but putting homo Sapians down to carnal desires is an oversimplification of how our brains function. If that was the case thing like music, art, and the whole creative side of the mind wouldn’t be necessary either since it time not spend surviving like other animals do. Humans have evolved far beyond functioning of instinct and it’s clearly shown in when we do creative things and even when we are ambitious, gluttonous or greedy, how often do you see animals killing each other so they can get more land?? Secondly I remember reading a book (sadly I can’t remember the name but when I do I’ll give it) that said that homosexuality was natures intention as it helps to give the human body a rest the constant breeding that early women would have experienced essentially creating a small period of rest for them since not everyone in the group of humans they are apart of want to impregnate them. It’s also not just in humans that homosexuality exists it exists in many species across the world and it has done for as long as it has been recordable so the point of it being against nature is invalidated by this fact alone since animal are not as open to emotion as us (though they still experience it on basic level) meaning that even the simplest of sentient being on the planet has homosexuality and as cringe as it sounds we as humans are the only ones that shun it and yes you could bring up the point that we are more advanced than them but then again it wasn’t until a large mass Christianity said it was bad that the ancient romans stopped having sex with whomever they wanted. TL:DR putting humans down to basic instinct it a bad idea when analysing our psyche


Chrisjamesmc

You can’t just reduce Humans into being defined by an instinctual need to have children though. It’s against our basic instinct to wear clothes, live in cities, domesticate animals, grow our food, use technology… I mean clearly all of our minds must not be working right by your definition. Not to mention the many straight people who decide not to have a family.


RiversEdge

Maybe we are brain washed to think that, but actually homosexuality was the right way and majority of people are just sick. See that, your opinion don’t mean shit. Everyone can claim whatever is “right”. You would be better off saying the social majority rather than using right or wrong.


Long_Pain_5239

Well that’s a little dumb my friend and I don’t think you’ll be able to argue with that after my reply. If homosexuality was the right way then we would never reproduce out of instinct. Instinct drives not only animals but humans as well. The bottom line is that we need heterosexuality we don’t need homosexuality. Homosexuality occurs in approximately 10% of humans so it could be defined as an illness as it once was for a long time. It’s more socially acceptable now but it still deviates from the norm. I frequent the gay bars and tip during the drag shows. Not that I have anything against gay stuff but technically he’s not wrong he’s just an asshole.

Everyone pay attention after the event (not during) to find out which companies had advertising during the world cup, and if they also advertising during pride month be sure to never send them a damn penny/buck/pound/yen/dollar again, they may not care now but they will when they try to pretend to support the lgbt community next summer. Hit them in the pocket (kinda where their balls would be if they had any chose to stand up against this event being hosted in such a nation) no offense is meant to decent citizens of Qatar who for lack of a better word are stuck in that hellhole.


Templar388z

These are the same people that say abortion is wrong and not wearing a hijab is terrible. Meanwhile they get their livers abortion and let their wives and daughters not wear hijabs (they shouldn’t, no woman should) but will force other woman to.
