>Thousands of people have died building soccer stadiums and people are saying that is wrong. Over 1100 people have died in a span of a few weeks from the heat wave currently happening in India. This sort of thing happens. Obviously, the Qataris could be doing a lot more to reduce deaths and improve condition of workers, but this is not exactly news, nor is it due to slavery. I still think that a lot of the hate haslittle to do with slavery and more to do with the fact that :- 1. Football fans from England/Europe/America pissed off that they couldn't host the world cup and are annoyed that the Qataris were able to buy their way into the world cup. This group has been running an effective smear campaign ever since the selection happened. 2. Undercurrent racism from football fans and non-fans (Why is this article even in Hacker News? Are there that many football, sorry soccer fans here?)
