Fifa be lik: “Today I feel Saudi, I feel Arab, I feel African, I feel gay, I feel disabled, I feel a migrant worker…”
As if any other country that hosted it is much better. One past and future host is now enabling a genocide.
FIFA is a rotten, corrupt organisation anyway so it’s no surprise.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” -Upton Sinclair
Fifa is getting paid so much they don’t care.
That’s concerning for sure. Human rights should never take a back seat in global events like the World Cup. It’s important for FIFA to stay accountable and consider these reports seriously; the impact goes beyond just sports.
Nihil sub sole novum.
FIFA follows the money and the reason is simple: they have to compete with the insane privatized corporate climate that is association football today. Nobody is playing for the fame and recognition anymore, it’s all about publicity, market value and prize money, and those require funds.
Saudi-Arabia benefits off of that by being able to sportswash their unjust regime, FIFA benefits by being able to hold an event. Qatar was the same deal, nobody gives a crap about football there as one could easily see.
That’s what endstage capitalism calls “innovation”.
nobody gives a crap about football there as one could easily see
no, it is very popular
