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

Quote:but I'd be inclined to not even watch it on TV

Not sure I could do that, I was all, "yay let's go boycott!!" until realising I might actually have to do something Undecided

I'm hoping the WC will be such a shambles that no-one watching will forget what a terrible idea holding it there was. The atmosphere should be terrible given that the locals who make up the majority of the crowd have no interest in football and their team will be out in the group stage and the football will be played at walking pace due to the heat
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.”  - George Carlin
