I dont know what to think about migrant death rates. The rublings seem to be worrisome, but proof seems to be elusive.
Then one is forced to objectively look at the facts, and things get murkier:
- Migrants are willing to co tinue yo travel despite the negative press
- Migrant home countries are never in the news lodging official protests or expressing serious concern.
- In fact, home countries seem to do absolutely nothing to curb whatever alleged excesses could be happening.
Maybe people are focused on the wrong problem. If death rates are not scandalous or even serious (outside of higher death rates consistent with industrial occupations deemed as hazardous) what seems to be unquestioned is Qatar's abuses in imprisonment of any person, migrant or not.
I'd like to hear more about cases like this article.
I've been to the last 5 world cups. I am seriously considering boycotting visiting because of articles like this one. Good journalistic work.
Closing: Regarding someone's awful experience in school with Association Football abuse. Im sorry this happened to you. As a parent of several kids that constantly play "soccer" in every room of our house, i can tell you the sport brings immense joy to many, including little ones.
As a parent, thank you for reminding me to stay alert about abuses at school masquerading as PE.
