November 23, 20223 yr I hope next we cover the best NFL players for soccer on this thread about Qatar and it's shithousery.
November 23, 20223 yr Is playing soccer really any different than kicking a 50+ yard field goal? Seems like we have plenty of professional ball kickers.

Apologies for being a bit rude. Im not arguing the nutritional benefits for lower socioeconomic groups, and I freely acknowledge that traditional Asian food production and rice based diets have well researched nutritional deficiencies. But in my travels in Asia, well heeled Asians need to be just as concerned about diabetes and obesity as low caloric and vitamin uptake.

November 23, 20223 yr Is it fair to say that Qatar threatened FIFA with closure of the games if beer was sold during the game or if the players wore lgbt armbands? I doubt the qataris wanted to lose fifa money but maybe it’s not that big of a deal to them.
November 23, 20223 yr I think that’s an accurate description. And it’s not Qatar losing FIFA money, it’s the other way: if FIFA wants their final payments, they’ll do what the Qataris want. And like a French whore, there’s nothing FIFA won’t do for money. Edited November 23, 20223 yr by Bateshorn

This is a great post. I agree. Doesn't seem too much different from my view. If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball.

I heard the opposite, where the journalist wearing a rainbow flag wasn't being let in (and finally got let in) and FIFA sent word to Qatar any more of those shenanigans and they will cancel games, so obviously the guy got let in and you haven't heard much more of those types of issues (rainbow shirts, subtle support, etc.). It sounded like Qatar was worried about FIFA cancelling games and FIFA had the leverage.... That said, I understand the idea of sportswashing, but I'm thinking Qatar is having a bit of buyers remorse on this one. Nothing good coming from this for them and they clearly value different things than most of the world and don't appreciate people trying to get them to change...

Your standard cop outside the facilities is just trying to get through this event without doing something to get his family beheaded. Qatar isn’t Iran where the security forces run the country. I’m sure FIFA is being leaned on by the leadership to comply. Why else would said notorious whores fuck over InBev, Giant booze conglomerate who has no problem doing that filthy thing you like if you will accommodate their sales and advertising?

Rich East Asian travelers are fat as fuck. Like American Midwest Fat. Soccer is a niche sport for wealthy mostly white suburbanites in this country. I live in Prince George’s County, MD. It’s majority minority. Kevin Durant is from Hyattsville. The DeMatha football and basketball machine is 10 minutes from my house. This county produces an incredible array of athletes, and it’s not poor. But soccer is barely an after thought. The quality of the fields is appalling. The coaches are just dads. There’s barely a travel team infrastructure. But you go to Howard or Montgomery counties, and it’s soccer complex after soccer complex. The talent pool we mostly mine is about a dozen wealthy white communities. We might have 300 million people, but the nation that actually plays soccer past 5th grade is tiny. You're not familiar with soccer in Texas, apparently
November 24, 20223 yr Sheesh up early watching this and it is dogshit quality football. I’ll keep it on in the background.

November 24, 20223 yr Yeah but imagine how much free time the broadcast team got last night not having to stay up and learn so many foreign names.
November 24, 20223 yr There’s a trashy reality show on Netflix, Dubai Bling or whatever, and it’s funny to think they are closer to Qatar than Lubbock is to Austin, but completely different culture. Just like Lubbock to Austin.
November 24, 20223 yr So the Supreme Council of Qatar has decided to issue full refunds to fans because those conex boxes were not fully built.

November 24, 20223 yr Fuck yeah. Cuz America right? I kid. KBR could have done this in 30 days. Just finished reading their latest humanitarian support capacity. Shit is impressive.
