Can’t speak to areas outside this forum but TRP has been openly critical of Qatar’s treatment of migrant workers for at least 5 years, if not longer

here in the thread for talking about dead labourers and corrupt government contracts we love to ignore dead labourers and corrupt government contracts

This is the first I'm hearing of this?!? I'm pretty sure there wasn't a long-running, multi-year ongoing thread about FIFA's corruption for this and every World Cup so I'm glad this poster is bringing it to our attention.

Reminder that there was so little corruption at FIFA that the FIFA corruption investigation team uncovered zero evidence of corruption and then disbanded itself

I personally get a sense people are triangulating on peoples' posts in other subforums and razzing them for unrelated things and it kinda sucks.

There absolutely are people who are saying "ah, now I can enjoy the World Cup, unfettered by guilt"

I personally get a sense people are less charitable to a poster who made it obnoxiously clear where they stand on a contentious issue that the thread doesn't cover, making the thread about themselves briefly, but hey maybe everyone is hitting up post history instead who knows

Qatar bad(?)

My uncle’s neighbour knows Infantino’s butler and I’ve been told he’s a good lad who means well. Apparently there aren’t many dead migrant workers either and I felt pretty silly when I heard that from a proper source and not the MSM.
