Qatar World Cup: over 900 workers died already, could be as high as 4000 by kick off

Welcome to the world of professional sports!
Welcome to the world of professional sports!

It is about money, not about the health and wellbeing of anyone.  As long as people pay to view or attend, the people in charge are doing fine.  And given the religious devotion that many have toward their favorite sports, we can expect this kind of thing to continue.  So, enjoy the game!

"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence."
— David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Section X, Part I.
