Am not telling that is acceptable. Am just telling that this is a football World Cup. Not a a cultural world cup.
And any nation including European who has hosted it has done similar bad things in past. So are why outage only now?
Us went ahead and killed thousands of women and children in Iraq. So do you boycott sports in US.
UK still white washes colonialism in Schools. They have not apologized for jalianwalabagh massacre. Do you boycott them.
France still leeches money from poor countries in Africa. Do you boycott them.
And finally quatar and saudi uses slave labour and treats homosexuals badly. Do you boycott petroleum and natural gas.
Then why only boycott world cup in quatar
Many mobiles and textile manufacturing is with slave labour. So is chocolates and cofee. You consume them. So what's new about quatar.
Yes for me accesibility is important. Because my friends can watch it without spending a year of their earnings. If you can conduct World cups in uk is or France or Russia, then you can conduct in quatar too. Regards of openions reeking in hypocrisy and racism
So what is the problem?
Is it slavery?
Is it that quatar is hot?
Is it that quatar doesn't like LGBTQ?
Why new reasons come up in every comment rather than any justification for the parent comment at all?
Are you going to watch football or to marry someone?
And should you boycott US also where random people kill innocent children regularly for no reason?
From this discussions in this thread atleast the problem with quatar is nothing of what is mentioned. Westerners can't accept that a nation culturally so different from theris can host an important tournament. They can't accept that people's have different priorities different cultures and different way of looking at life. They can't accept that about 2 billion people of the world are having the most accesible world cup.
In short, they can't accept that world doesent exist just for westerners. Since they can't tell that openly due to being called out for racism, they come up with these reasons..
1. This is one of that ways to get more people interested in football. Majority of the population is in south asia and chinela, Quatar is quite close and this wc is very accessible for us
2. Why world cup is held in summer? Is it because Europe is cold in winter and Europeans prefer summer. Unfortunately world is not just Europe. Since this is WORLD cup why should it not be held in seasons that is suited where it is hosted?
3.Same as above. Football is popular across world.
4. May be this is to get football more popular in middle East. Why only conduct where it is popular now. Let's conduct where more young people are present.
5. Corruption in FIFA is not new. This is not specific to this world cup.
6. So what. May be Quatar is trying to be a sports destination of MENA. It's their money. Let them spend it the way they want.
7. So has a large number of people died in making the phones, clothes, chocolates, diamond, cofee or anything in Modern world. Do you stop using phones and clothes because of that?
I come from Kerala in india where a large population emigrate to Arab countries including Quatar. Heck even my uncle was there at some point. People go to these places because they pay well. May be not as much as western world would like, but much more than we make here. So i don't give too much importance to the stories about slave labour and everything.
8. Are you coming to watch football or to promote pride culture?
