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.

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?

Nice attempt at whataboutism.

US sucks, but light years ahead of Qatar.

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

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.

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.

I mean they are elated. We get it, you learned a thing and are holier than thou.

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

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.
