It appears the U.S. has no problem with this type of thing.
They have one of their largest bases in Doha.
Wonder if they took advantage of immigrant labour to have parts of that constructed.
and finding insignificant pissholes of football teams and pumping billions into them as vanity projects?

I like Qatar's two new hopefuls
Sheik Al Messi
Sheik Bin Ronaldo
mind you...they do look familiar
If the stories on here about unmarried/ homosexual couples being unable to share rooms is true, that alone renders the whole World Cup a bit of a joke.
It immediately makes a mockery of all of FIFA's ethics and their reasoning for hosting a World Cup by discriminating against people, for literally no reason whatsoever.

"Little discussed is the fact that high-income professional expatriate workers are also deeply affected by the abuse of the system by companies. A confounding issue is that many of the companies are based out of western nations from the EU, UK, and the US" hmm, from the Wiki article for the Kafala system in UAE
It is a bit shocking how it'll take place across December and November. Or, if you're an England fan, November.
I don't buy the argument that you have to have some 'humanity' to host a world cup... SA, Poland, etc, hardly have deep rich histories of being nice guys...
It'd be pretty ironic i we won it after the amount of complaining everyone has done.

I have not seen anyone proposing that argument myself. This is about people dying which takes priority. Whether other host countries have poor records is totally and utterly irrelevant. Your statement is correct but not within the context of this article surely.
I think a few died making stadia for the Brazil World Cup too, no doubt they will for Russia.

However we are talking of HUNDREDS dying in Qatar since 2012!

And as I said its not just the world cup with Qatar. Look up the stats, it goes back to before the world cup so this is a prevalent social problem they have that is being magnified and highlighted by the world cup. There have always been deaths when undertaking huge construction projects but whats happening in Qatar is batsheet crazy.
