This is going to be a mess but I am sure that dick head Blatter will find a way to skate out of this.. He always does..

I saw this!

crazy.

I assume the 2018 World Cup award to Russia was bound by a lot of corrupt dealings, but it's still nothing compared to Qatar... I really hope they rescind their award and re-locate that one. Would be fun if it's in the U.S.!

 

[biggunsbob]

We all knew it was a corrupt vote..I do not think they can change it after all construction done so far.. I work conditions are terrible for the workers building those stadiums in Qatar.. Jail them all!!!!!

Qatar's national team is an absolute joke. Who's going to win the 2026 bid, Vatican City?

 

[Michchamp]

1200 workers have already died in qatar; estimated that 4000 will die by the time 2022 rolls around.

(SOOOO glad facebook and twitter weren't around when I was in college...)

the WaPo updated their report now to say that number is based on all migrant worker deaths in Qatar during the time period, not just the ones working on WC facilities.

presumably it's still a lot though.

the really shocking thing is, they know the whole world is watching, but they still can't provide their migrant workers with safe working conditions? They don't even care.

all that oil money, and they can't build some air-conditioned huts, safe drinking water, and set up enough field hospitals to treat their workers & monitor health?

 

[biggunsbob]

Yeah just freaking greedy oil billionaires who do not give a rats ass about the workers. They can still make tons of money and do what you said above..
