CaliMag Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I will be supporting a boycott of Qatar. I will not even watch the qualifiers and sign whatever petitions are around. I am on the fence about Russia. Brazil and South Africa are both poor and corrupt (more so than Russia) countries with long histories of racism and other transgressions that held fantastic World Cups. I don't understand why moral outrage has suddenly come to forefront for this tournament in particular. I have spent time in Russia and enjoyed myself and plan to be there again in June of next year with my wife to see the preeminent sporting competition in the world. Nigeria and DRC are both top of their groups, and I am desperately hoping both qualify, so we can see our boys in action. That's just the thing Qatar isn't a poor country. It's a very wealthy one that has no excuses in sending thousands of people into slavery and death to build their stadiums. And yeah FIFA has always been corrupt but eventually you have to call it and say "f*ckmthis I've had enough." I am there now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Surely not exclaimed the crowd in utter disbelief. Should just let ‘em go nuts. $500K tickets, World Cup played in personal stadiums around the world, tuxedoed attendants pouring Cristal for oil sheikhs, Russian oligarchs, and hedge fund managers. Fuck ‘em. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Best news ever if Qatar loses the 2022 World Cup. Seriously. Don't actually mind it being in Qatar that much more than I'm livid of it being played in November. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
