Qatar would have continued being a rich, oil-funded state without hosting the World Cup and continue to live in peace with their culture and views on morality. I can see where he's coming from (even though I'm not in agreement)...he doesn't want westerners to enforce their views on Qataris, but why try to enforce yours on them?
- serf 4y ago>But, then, why host westerners when you know you're not compatible with their ideas? because they get their cake and get to eat it, too? They're making money while continuing to espouse the rhetoric they want , unabashed. They're being paid to be a part of international society at large while continuing to spread the message that they're happy to spread; what's the problem as far as they're concerned? If the opinion upsets then the actionable parties to protest would be the ones that facilitate such world events going to places that have ideals and ethics that are out of step with the participants, not the country or its' leaders itself.
- LatteLazy 4y agoDo people actually make money from hosting the world cup? I assumed it was like the Olympics, especially for a country with basically no existing sport infrastructure: a loss making project.
- bergenty 4y agoBecause it’s in Qatar? It makes sense, the westerners are in Qatar. They’re asking you to abide by their mores in their country. It’s not even all that hard, just don’t do public displays of affection.
- nells 4y agoWhere’s he enforcing anything on westerners? He’s not going around France telling them to cool it with the sodomy.
