Grouchio posted:So why again is the World Cup in Qatar still happening after everything last year? Serious answer, because if you were trying to bribe the outcome for an event that is a decade in the future you wouldn't pay the majority of those bribes initially, you would phase the bribe payments over a long period e.g. multimillion pound jobs for voters relatives, long term 'development' funding, etc. So their is to much for them to personally lose if the tournament is moved.

The Amnesty International Qatar Report came out today. From CNN.com: "Qatar's migrant workers, mostly from South Asia, make up more than 90% of the country's workforce. Building for the 2022 World Cup is expected to peak in 2017, when the current workforce of 4,000 migrants on World Cup sites will jump to 36,000, according to FIFA." From NBC News' article: In a 52-page report (PDF), Amnesty said every one of the 231 construction and landscaping workers it interviewed — most of them from Bangladesh, India and Nepal — reported some sort of abuse, including: - Squalid living conditions. - Pay far below what had been promised. - Pay not being distributed for months at a time. - Refusal to issue or renew residence permits, opening workers to deportation. - "Kidnapping" of workers by confiscation of their passports and refusal to issue exit permits. - Threats to silence complaints. So yeah, everything is still on track.

Why aren't the EU and USA imposing economic sanctions on Qatar for such blatant human rights violations? seems to me like all these western countries are big ol' hypocrites.

Not sure where El Hefe is from but a lot of southern Asia (the Arabian peninsula, Indian subcontinent and the islands of southeast Asia) either imports or exports these laborers. Its in no way unique to Qatar.

Every cruise is also filled with Indians, Indonesians, Pakistanis and the like and they get treated like absolute poo poo in horrible working conditions and yet when they dock in Miami or the French Riviera absolutely nothing happens and no investigations ever take place. The US and EU are the world's biggest hypocrites.

Serious question: If he was ever actually sentenced to prison by a judge in Madrid for any of this, how bad would the rioting be? The rhetoric/mistrust between Barcelona fans/citizens and what is seen as favoritism/corruption in favor of Real is already insane.

The case against him was moved to Barcelona iirc but there's no way the Spanish government would send Lionel Messi to jail anyway, Mascherano had to pay a poo poo load of money in fines and a suspended sentence, but he didn't actually had to serve any jail time.
