I appreciate your reply, and I will definitely acknowledge that good relations can come from participation in a given hobby/interest. I'll counter again by saying that good is not exactly to the benefit of workers that died in Qatar. For me soccer has grown beyond what I consider a moral endeavour. And I would never support organised soccer again personally. Playing it or enjoying it at small scale for instance in local clubs, that is something I don't mind as much.

What are the arguments for supporting a sport that is as toxic as soccer is? There's good people among the fans, for sure. But there's a culture of violence connected to the sport. Also the money involved is increasingly governing the sport, as with many other high profile sports, when in fact such money could do so much good if they were spent differently. Do you have any moral qualms actively supporting soccer and spending your money on it?
