It's impossible for me to boycott VISA but, getting Coke and McDonalds out of my diet is worthwhile for health and ethical reasons. I've never understood people buying McDonalds, it's not exactly cheap or fast these days and the food is awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Prince Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I suspect there's a good chance of all three Hearts lads playing at the WC. Rowles would have been first picked before his injury. Atkinson has been mostly picked at RB in recent matches, and Devlin is getting rave reports from Arnold. I can see him playing as a double pivot with Mooy. Strong chance of HMFC providing over 25% of the Oz NT in any one moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 6 hours ago, ri Alban said: Is a football tournament or a gayathon? Maybe if it was the 2nd, Qatar wasn't the best host. But it's a football tournament, so I don't give a feck what the LGBT mob think. Hopefully they are silly enough to do something over there and get a baton shoved up... Wait a minute. An education on other countries rights not being valid in their country. I'm starting to agree with this pov Obviously the laws regarding the LGBT community are prehistoric but football does not need to present itself as a campaign vehicle for the LGBT community. 2 hours ago, ri Alban said: Enjoy the football. Leave the politics to politicians. Yep. and everything will be geared towards catching a player out for making remarks on subjects they are ill qualified to comment on. They have tried to go after Hugo Lloris for it and just wait for an American to bring some Southern State thinking to the party. Footballers are generally not the brightest and yet they will be asked questions on huge social issues with the world's media waiting to pounce on the slightest suggestion they are not following the party line.

studo Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The hypocrisy of these footballers needs called out. Particularly the England team. Wearing rainbow armbands, speaking out against Qatari human rights issues, then scuttle off back to your Middle Eastern backed employer to play in a league full of teams owned and sponsored by these companies, so you can compete to play in the Champions League which yet again backed by companies from countries with human rights issues. But as long as theyre getting paid enough.... Either they're ok with this influence in football or they're not, but dont pretend to have a stance just for the WC.

Cade Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Danish sports journalist team threatened by Qatari security, who attempted to smash up their cameras. Grovelling apology given after their passes were checked again. Lots of migrant workers allegedly being paid to pose as fans of various nations. Qatar claims that they're all proper fans of whatever nation they're claiming to support, and that to claim that they're paid fake fans is racist.

No siree. Y'know, there is absolutely nothing wrong with paying people to do wee dress-up parades to get the party started. Or like the London Olympics, asking people to volunteer to whip up the crowd. No problem with that at all. But when it's this obvious, it's laughable that the Qataris are trying to deny it. That's the problem here. Not the paying of people to play a part. It's the feckin lying. Edited November 16, 2022 by Cade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
