    The only message you can give is to not go. Every message done on the tournament is bullshit. Apparently you can do it to Russia, so Qatar should not be a problem.

      This.

      And the reason they won’t do this is because you can’t monetize not going.

      They won’t sell fewer kits this way. Hell they might sell even more given how cooked liberal brains are.

      They’re still 100% involved in every metric that matters.

    1, I’m sure the ruling class of Qatar will feel so threatened and called out by eleven red shirts. 2, Denmark is actively trying to make the lives of its POC migrant community hell and maybe that’s a more local problem for Danes to fix.

    Qatar is a slave-state like the rest of the western-backed “gulf states”, but this reads just like the safety-pin nonsense liberals pulled in 2016. A “silent message” is much akin to no message at all imo. Also goes without saying that Denmark isn’t a bastion of respect for human rights, either, ofc.

    Sometimes I wonder if the people who think this is anything have ever considered how it would feel for them to actually walk up to one of the slaves of Qatar and say, “sorry you’re suffering and dying, I’m wearing this red shirt in your honour. Hope I’ve done enough to help you.”

    Like, with every one of these pointless little corporate “gestures” there are always a host of people who go along, and feel…inspired? that this “powerful” message is being sent. We see it every time. But do they ever actually think about how it would feel to be the person this message is ostensibly about and to be told this is the extent of others’ care?

    Interesting how all of these “messages” are being sent two months before the tournament when it’s too late to do anything, and not the what 8-9 years ago that this world cup was announced

    The only thing more faded than those logos is the real-world meaning of this “action”.
