150 Billion for the infrastructure and they treat their workers worse than cattle.

Decided by bribed Fifa executives.

Basically a free for all on the back of those hoping for a better future. Wages unpaid, ahot housing, barely any food.

Its a disgrace and the ones responsible should be brought to justice.

I can’t believe people are supporting this abomination. FIFA should have pulled the plug years ago.

If you are going to Qatar to participate in this sham, then shame on you.

This is the most horrendous excuse of a experience I've ever had the displeasure of knowing about.

I know it won't happen, but I wish the USMNT would simply boycott the games.

I agree but people insist that if they just watch illegally they are morally in the clean.

Coulda seen that coming. These people tricked the poor people into building all this shit, stole their passports from them so the couldn’t leave and I’m sure a myriad other human atrocities. What a gross event. Fuck these people.

To be fair, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have been doing this for decades. Which is exactly why fifa shouldn't have hosted the world cup there.

I knew this would happen, and is likely happening to regular people who are renting in the area. From a landlord perspective, you could have your current tenant pay maybe $1000 a month or evict them and have some American or European pay you $1000+ a night for the World Cup.

Not a big sports fan, but soccer has always been dear to me. Will I watch World Cup this year? Don’t think so. Not until they start treating workers decently. No real football fan would support this conduct! Don’t waste your money on rich apartheid in Qatar!
