I’m conflicted…

Well…with the world cup starting today, I’m conflicted about watching it knowing what I know about Qatar…the country is one of the biggest human rights abusers on the globe and it should not be rewarded for it…and they bribed their way to getting the tournament in well known corruption that FIFA always seems to be involved in…but the biggest reason that gives me pause is the fact that over 6,000 laborers died constructing the venues and infrastructure needed to support the games….and many, many more went unpaid like slaves so the rulers could make money from the games….so, will I watch the tournament…yeah, probably, but I’m not sure how much I’ll enjoy it…especially since the rulers there have put strict rules on the broadcasts so they get only good propaganda out of it…no criticism is allowed at all…still don’t think these games should have even been awarded to what is a dictatorship that abuses it’s people…but FIFA equals corruption so what can you do?
