There’s a lot of confusion right now regarding the death toll on the stadium construction. Nevertheless the workers rights seem very dodgy to say the least and there is this anti-LGBTQ+ rights.

What are your takes on it? Is the West right in its outrage?

      Same but mostly because i have zero interest in football. There is something very toxic and suspicious to me about the sports entertainment industry in general. It is reminiscent of Roman gladiator games to me and ultimately it mainly serves for corporations to capitalize on advertising and make a huge amount of money for a very small number of people, and i’m not talking about the athletes - they may be paid well but more often than not end up ruining their bodies in the process.

        Yeah I get what you mean, as with all competition the human beings competing are eventually turned into expendable objects pushed to breaking point to make the most money for their investors.
