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?
Maybe a weird question, but would you feel better about watching it if it was a pirated stream?
I think everyone should absolutely pirate the world cup, and they should have pirated all previous world cups.
Not FIFA, nor any of the host countries deserve the money they make from what should belong to the public.
There’s talk on r/soccer about doing this. I get their points of not giving money to broadcasts and Qatar this way, I really do.
But for me, it would not make me feel better. I’m still watching a tournament build on horrific conditions. And I couldn’t cheer for my country in any way. ‘Yay, we won the Slave Cup!’ just doesn’t work for me.
