Just as was the case with the 2022 Qatar World Cup, this will be a blood-soaked WC, where thousands of poorly paid and abusively treated migrant workers will be killed while building the stadiums.

When big countries governments don't care about Saudi human rights issues why should football care

dormun.bsky.social•117 days ago

Because:
➡️football players don’t want to play in the extreme heat of Saudi
➡️fans don’t want to go to Saudi
➡️having half empty stadiums (like at Qatar) impairs the viewing experience
➡️no one wants 1000s of migrant workers to die horrible deaths

Football players just care about money. They will probably play the tournament in December like in Qatar, which has pretty much the same problems. Money Talks!
