True but I've never heard of Fifa before threatening teams with yellow cards before the game before which given two yellows is still a one match ban throughout the tournament is an issue.
When you know that this is how they roll, you have what one would call "cultural competency". When you understand that this is how they are, these are their laws, draconian or otherwise, why are you surprised when they decide to uphold their laws?
Don’t say things like this in this thread. Stop speaking sense.
I mean the guy wearing a rainbow shirt wasn't even really a challenge to be fair. As up until a few days ago Fifa/Qatar were both on the same page about rainbow flags etc being welcome in the stadiums.
A lot of talk of Homelander Ronaldo but these guys are basically the country version of it.
So no empathy with the LGBT community then? Answer that and it might shortern our interaction.
You're right, it's not like societies have evolved with people challenging unfair laws. The job of those outside the situation is to support those challenging the laws, not going "oh well, law is law, what are you gonna do".Well, you can obviously.
Look, every action has reaction. And reaction is not based on what is right and what is wrong.
They are hosts. They have laws. These laws are morally shit but those are laws in their country. If you don't follow them, you will be punished. It is simple logic.
You either don't go there or you follow those laws. Same as with booze or some other shit which is normal in other countries.
How about of having the cultural competency to not invite the world when one doesn't want to be visited by the world?
Ha ha. Exactly
Is that their fault? Blame fifa not them. I don't know how the bidding process works, backhanders or due process but those lot in fifa will have done their due diligence and they facilitated it
Exactly, I think people attacking the Captains and calling them "spineless cowards" etc are misplacing their anger.
They used to be very harsh on all “political manifestations”, but Infantino said previously that Human rights slogans will be tolerated.
Taking a yellow (especially one that leads to a red) for the cause could have excused the abysmal football they're producing. And it would give Wales participation in this WC some meaning.
Damn man. I know that my English is not top of the pops but still, i think that i was clear.
Utter nonsense. Literally no sense. It's what ended slavery, but to it's also just to highlight what a nothing statement it is, what caused slavery.
That's reasonable logic but the ultimate blame lies on FIFA and whoever didn't protest at the time, in my opinion
They bought the world cup. Obviously fifa gets the blame for selling it but Qatar shouldn't have bought a football world cup if they're too timid to accept the world visiting.
Try telling that to Afghanistan
This has nothing to do with Afghanistan. Don't do that.
Of course but I find it bizarre that so much responsibility is put on their shoulders rather than the people who actually make the decisions.
Meanwhile, Iranian players stood against their government which could cause jail or death penalty.
My premise does though. I said "when you try and impose your will on people it doesn't end in anything pretty".
I've thought the same many a time but
FIFA didn't force them to bid for hosting.
Maybe they wanted the geopolitical protection? Who would mess with a country that's preparing to host a World Cup?
It is, in fact, their fault. Nobody forced them to apply to the World Cup. This is a truly ridiculous line of argumentation.
Well yeah and the bad guy in both of those scenarios are the government/ governing bodies who are handing out the punishment right?
It depends on your will. Your weekends are the unions imposing their will on industrialists. In fact pretty much all of your rights were just someones will at some point.
The LGBT issues at hand has no correlation with slavery either. It is seclusion and segmented which has roots to discrimination. Slavery was an extremist action that became legislated as a result of racism for over a century.
Completely possible for me.
That's fine, but was your phone made in china?
