Who can we support at the World Cup?. There was a certain amount of glee in seeing this historic upset. A puzzling reaction to a country who have a much worse human rights record than Qatar,
OK, but what about the treatment of women? Well, Cameroon, Tunisia, Ghana and Senegal all rank below Qatar in a ranking of equality for men and women. So please, do not support them. 1. Migrant workers – there are so many mistakes in this area. One of the richest nations on earth made the conscious choice to ship in cheap migrant labour, pay them very very little, give them truly concentration camp style living conditions and have so little regard for their welfare that almost half of them died while building the stadiums. They have made no acknowledgement of this as a mistake or apologised for it.
Finally I know some people will say that since we are in Qatari land we should respect their laws, but their laws directly oppress and imprison people for simple life choices. I can’t respect laws which do that, most of us can’t. Did the Qataris honestly believe everyone would just ignore all these things? If they did they have about as much naiveté as they do money. The rest of the world can’t be told to be quiet under threat of imprisonment and death like Qatari people.
Kane plays two matches where he is booked before a ball is kicked and has to be careful for the following 90 minutes or risk further punishment. Trippier starts a game already booked and if he’s picked up a booking in the previous 2 games, he misses the first knockout game. It’s not like there isn’t even a fairly recent precedent for presenting from the UK. In 2008, when England failed to qualify for the Euros, ITV decided it simply wasn’t commercially viable to incur the expense of sending everyone to Austria and Switzerland. And it is unlikely to have made much difference. Talking about what formation Spain will play, or describing what is happening on a replay doesn’t require you to be in a stadium.
The BBC should be a broad church, representing all those who fund it. But somehow it does seem to be overly full of people who think the plight of gays in Qatar are more worthy of discussion than the widespread abuse of young, working class, white girls in the UK.
