Boycott Qatar

He's right like, but not going means nothing changes, that said I can't blame him for not taking the chance either.

I guess it's the perfect example of sportswashing.

They should attend . There is no way the Government of Qatar would risk any incident which will tarnish their tournament so I believe it would be a perfect opportunity to make a stand .
Not attending will achieve nothing .

The safest place to be for a homosexual will be in Qatar during the world cup.

They will be wanting to show the world how tolerant they are. I dread to think what would happen to anyone who was found abusing or attacking anyone that's Gay.

I remember the same fears about Russia.

It was one of the safest and best world cups ever staged.

Maybe it will. But you can totally understand why people may not want to take that chance.

We are so lucky Russia were awarded that competition otherwise the dictator might have got annoyed and started invading neighbouring countries within a few years.

Let’s face it neither Russia or Qatar should have been given a WC.

Russia moved on so well didn't they? Shows what a joke Sports washing is, they just double down once the circus leaves town.

Its a huge mistake holding the tournament in Qatar. Blatant sportswashing. A depressing trend in sport now.

10 of the 22 voting FIFA members for the host process have since either been banned from football or indicted for corruption.

And yet here we are, preparing for a winter World Cup in the desert. It was too late to change 2018, but this really should have underwent a new vote without the bent 10.

Gary Neville around the 13 min mark- awful - what a f***ing gobshite that man is, yet he’s completely ineffectual.
Saw him chatting with Beckham the other day- Beckham like a robot saying ‘this is one World Cup you don’t wanna miss’ etc.
was paid 150m or something to back these fuckers wasn’t he?
 
Personally can't see a boycott working at this point. Too many people who dont care and too many brown envelopes already been cashed. It really needed to be the teams entering it be it the FA or each countries representative or the players/management themselves.

My plan is to basically watch it on IPTV that way they don't get any numbers or money from me and I dont get punished for missing out as a fan due to football being corrupt.

It'll make no difference but it makes me feel better in my own little way despite whatever I do having no effect ont he situation matterless of what I do.
 
One of my children is gay, I won't be watching any of the world cup. I will fight anyone who abuses my children whether that is their sexuality or shoe size or music preference as I am their dad. I will probably lose but don't care. For a global sport to take place in Qatar is horrific to me and should be to rational free thinking adults. Allowing the PIF of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia to invest in a club shows where both the government and shareholders of this country prioritise .
