Viewership enhances the value broadcast rights.

I'll happily support one of the dozens of other breweries that aren't trying to monetize the world cup.

The World Cup is coming to the U.S. next. I sure hope you keep this energy when it comes, because there is a lot of shit to get mad about the U.S. Police abuse, supporting countries like Saudia Arabia and the war in Yemen, high levels of inequality, using prison inmates as cheap labor, etc.

Agreed. World Cup sucks.

To you. After the riots throughout the U.S. a few years ago, they still held concerts, theater plays, sporting events, conventions, etc. You want to boycott all of those too since they are not being considerant of the issues?

Whats your point?

Is your argument to ignore Qatar's horrible human rights record "oh but what about this county?"

You can literally use that argument on anything. Should we stfu about Putins invasion of ukraine because Vietnam? Grow up dude

ticumac t1_j0rvj9i wrote

No. None of that shit should be ignored. Innocent people are dying. I'm simply stating for you to keep that same energy for your own country. Why the fuck every time there is a criticism about the U.S., someone like you can't seem to take it without trying to act like a victim? Grow the fuck up.

lolokaydudewhatever t1_j0rw5bt wrote

I literally just said the US sucks.

Stop making up imaginary statements to argue your preformed opinions.

If you think saying Qatar is so much worse than the US is a defense of the US, you need to look into how fucking awful that country is and how many Qataris suffered building those damn stadiums for the world cup.

You love soccer? Great. Give Fifa the same energy youre giving me.

Not really, there's a lot of stuff I could do better.

Ignoring one tiny piece of entertainment for a 2 month period to avoid supporting one of the worst regimes on the planet in regards to human rights just isn't one of em

ticumac t1_j0rqvfs wrote

But you are here, talking about the World Cup. When I ignore something, I usually don't pay attention to it. I guess some of us love the attention.

B-Fawlty t1_j0qk43c wrote

Is your goal to help make people aware and then sway them to your argument, or is it to make yourself feel better about yourself?

Because honestly, your tone and tact will change absolutely zero minds, where maybe showing a little bit of grace could have.

So then really, it just seems like you want to feel good about being better than other people and provide justifications for your own involvement in other exploitative practices(ie I’m sure you own clothing made countries with bad labor practices, own devices like TVs phones etc that were as well). No one is perfect, you included.

lolokaydudewhatever t1_j0qkl4d wrote

It's actually neither. It's me venting at how normalized it has become for westernized countries to support\ignore such horrible regimes such as Qatar.

As I've said in other replies, there's is plenty I could do better, so I certainly don't claim perfection.

Regardless, you make a good point and I appreciate your feedback friend.

Nice false equivalency. There's a difference between discretionary vs non discretionary consumption.

Watching the world cup is 100% discretionary

Are you assuming everything made in China is made with slave labor, that's incredibly racist and ethnocentric

Also, I'm posting this from a computer made in Oregon.

You're the one that brought up your computer made in Oregon that sounds like it's not made in Oregon.

Do you own a car? That's discretionary and it definitely has products inside of it manufactured by factories benefiting from forced labor in China. This isn't a whataboutism as much as it is a comment on your stupid statement.

lolokaydudewhatever t1_j0qc439 wrote

There is almost no device on the market that doesn't have some parts made in Asia.

I'm just correcting that the device is made in Oregon not China. Which by definition it is not.

I run a falcon northwest drx, go ahead and tell me all the parts that are made with slavor labor in China. Please educate me.

Also the belief that owning a car is discretionary is such an urban elitist pov. Many people rely on a car for their living.

Also, i ride a bike...it probably has parts made in China (to my knowledge no parts made with slave labour) either way, I need it to get around...y'all don't need the world cup.

It's not my first thought when someone has fun. It's my first thought when I see the world cup.

The problem is many other people see world cup and their first thoughts ARENT slave labor and horrible human rights violations...it's FUN!
