I feel better than James Brown

No, because watching is a passive activity, it has no effect on Qatar. It will actually support the human rights abusing, corrupt regime because they will be able to point to millions of TV viewers. I'm not going to watch and will actively boycott the major sponsors and advertisers.the more people that watch the more the spot light is turned on the country.
Spent some time working there, quite a divided place

Thanks, needed to be said.I don't remember many objections to Russia in 2018 having already stolen Crimea in 2014
3 o clockWhat time is it on?
You pick your battles. Futile to get into a “my regime is more oppressive than yours” argument. But there could and should have been a targeted boycott against awarding the WC to a blatantly and extensively repressive regime that operates de facto slave labour, oppresses women and criminalises LGBT. And significantly, in contradistinction to Russia or Brazil, has absolutely no football pedigree. You can argue that it’s good to break new ground and expand the game, for example awarding the WC to the United States or S. Africa, but that is not what the awarding to Qatar is concerned with.Thanks, needed to be said.
In Qatar, the damage is done, so at this point why not at least let our grandchildren have some fun in front of the TV and on the schoolyard.
