Many give died in building the stadiums, the regime is homophobic and misogynist. Should we boycott?
Firstly we need to be aware of the £400 billion invested by the Atari government in the uk. SevernTrent Water, to Selfridges, Claridges, the Shard, PSG, Barclays Bank, Sainsbury’s and many other companies. So whilst I am happy to boycott these we have to be realistic. Lineker and Gary Neville have been slated for commentating, maybe the fact they are doing this has raised the profile of objections to the regime. Beckham is getting £10 million to promote the tournament and therefore the Qatari government. Is there a difference? I believe so.
The government there is as bad as those in Israel and Iran. Would I be in favour of a boycott if it was in one of those? Almost certainly! I can avoid “I’m a celebrity .. blah, blah crap” but this is football!
It should never have been the go ahead in the first place. Jurgen Clop is correct.
