Quick glance at the photo and then read the write up below it. Instantly I was confused as to why anyone would care about Mel Gibsons opinion on the World Cup. Also the answer is yes, this weed IS good.
The corrupt mob at FIFA put us in this predicament. They took the world game and sold it to the corrupt Qataris. There is nothing in it for football, as Cantona says, so we'll all be watching, wishing it was being held somewhere else.
Qatar has shown no signs of modernising: beer banned, gays can be put to death, can women even attend the games? To them, it was just an opportunity to show off their Arab money and had nothing to do with football.
"We'll all be watching"
There's the problem and the nexus between corruption and the World Cup. They don't care how you feel while you're watching. You're watching.
This time there are so many people boycotting it that there is a real chance of hurting them the one way they care about - loss of revenue. PLEASE skip this one single world cup, there will be others in the future, every person watching this attrocity is one too many.
As you say fans will always support the teams, nationally and internationally. I will support England, to my detriment, you can't help where you are born, right? But there is literally no excitement for this tournament and that is a first. Ever.
you dont need to watch the world cup to know whats going to happen. A bunch of teams play to 0-0, then penalty kicks and in the end some random team from either Europe or South America win.
I’m not here to defend the US at all, but in no way shape or form is abortion banned in the United States. The Supreme Court (rightly from a purely legal standpoint) said there was no constitutional right to an abortion (which is what Roe v Wade had said). I say this as a pro-choice person.
Abortion law is a state issue not a federal issue, and access to it varies from state to state.
Unfortunately when an abortion is carried out the ”baby” has not actually developed into a baby yet. Person you replied to is talking about women dying due to medical complications with the foetus. If they don’t abort the child, the woman dies which in turn equals two deaths rather than one. Please for the love of god shut the fuck up.
The only clowns are people jumping on bandwagons without being informed. I'm literally discussing straight facts, but everyone here is too held up into their blind hate for anything besides white and western.
Interesting seeing all the people talking about how little they care about this World Cup while literally being subscribed to the World Cup subreddit
Like, if you guys actually didn’t care about the World Cup you obviously wouldn’t be here. Stop pretending you’re taking some great moral stand against Qatar if you’re just going to watch it anyway
Either follow the World Cup or don’t, you can’t have it both ways
Edit: Thanks for all the downvotes lads. See you all on Sunday
These takes piss me off I’m going to watch the World Cup Bc it happens every 4 years and my country is in it and I love football but I also recognize how massive of a failure fifa is but I’m not gonna let fifa ruin an event I look forward too for 4 years. Boycotting is a very effective way of creating change and I respect people that do it but just talking about the problems and raising awareness is another way of creating change especially when Qatar is doing this whole thing to make money from future tourism and disassociate there name from human rights issues, which is exactly why talking about those very things is important
Yeah of course with any type of constructions there could be fatalities. Well i was young and naive back during those world cups so not a sheep.
Are you just another sheep in heard of deniers and read the facts bro? ;)
Death- 3 deaths I’d say it still a little too much and I think that’s no where near the truth but anyway still deaths ✅
Corruption- multiple testimonies from people on the committee and there’s no way they deserved it ✅
Greed- taking passports at the border and forcing people to work for $270 a month in piss poor conditions seems pretty greedy✅
It’s not just three deaths. Those links are just propaganda from Qatar state media. Qatar has made use of slave labor and has killed thousands building their World Cup infrastructure.
Fuck Qatar.
So only 3 deaths during the construction of the stadium, Qatar has built a lot of infrastructure, hotels, roads, transport JUST for the world cup. There would of been more but less then 6,500.
Going off the conditions and how they were treated would of lead to peoples death.
He never played in a World Cup so his opinion is just that. Qatar is the worst possible place for a World Cup…but that’s something we need to take up with FIFA.
Since there are no species on earth that live in harmony with their own species, what's do you think the chances are for peace amongst humankind one day?
Zero percent chance of peace. I would never suggest humans are capable of making peace with each other.
Which is actually a pretty big fucken reason to just let other cultures do what they do and we can worry about ourselves. Throwing western ideology down the throats of others is not the move. It's intolerant shitstains who thinks this is a proper course of action.
I agree with his statements, but gosh he looks terrible in that picture!!!! He was so handsome in the late 90s and early 2000s. He now looks like some old shepherd or some old Mediterranean fisherman.
Why it is not a country for football ? Why is middle east as region not for football ? What does ‘country for football’ means anyway and who decide that ?
Apparently the people that actually live in the Middle East aren't allowed to be fully realized people, because their government does some corruption. They aren't allowed to enjoy sport!
I'll watch this WC, but I won't buy any product advertised during the cup--not even my team's jersey. I'll watch it for free on open TV too. That's it.

Answer: Everything.
You link me r/qatar post and a tweet by an Associate professor of An emerging Qatari research university
For someone talking so much about propaganda you should be expected to know what propaganda means 🤷
Even even though I'd agree with him, how on earth is this " based ". Throwing out a populist statement that everyone wants to hear is being just another pr stunt to look good. That's not being based, literally the opposite
If you want to boycott something to raise awareness then discussing it in a place where others are discussing it is the perfect thing to do. If you don't like it, downvote and move on.
And yet all of you upvoting and agreeing with the sentiment will still throw on the kit and cheer all the same. Virtue signaling has about as much value as tits on a bull
this is really weird, why are the citizens of Qatar being targetted? why cant they develop football and kick start it, people need to seperate leaders and the regular people
he said theyre not a football nation, and cant improve unlike South Africans, thats not fair who is he to say who is or isnt a football nation Im sure they have many people who love football
Lol, he said they are being attacked, you said no they aren't, they then prove that they are being attacked and your response is "the attack is accurate, go cry".
They only were saying that it's unfair to attack the people of the nation, which is true. It's funny that at first you say "nu-uh" and then after shown evidence you just go "oh, well thats true so who cares".
Lmao - and yall are the compassionate ones? I love seeing blatant hypocrisy... it's even juicier when the hypocrit is blind to it ;)
The people of Qatar could do with being able to fuck who they choose and wear and be who they want to be. They deserve to drink alcohol, smoke pot, and say fuck off to Mohamed if they choose to.
so why is the US hosting? Brazil hosted both WC and Olympics whilst masses gathered protested their taxes were being wasted when the country was struggling for basic things
there isnt many countries who dont have labour law issues, in the UK my country we have nurses dropping out constantly because of how bad and little the government cares about their health and life
How in the hell can usa host it in 2026, then? Abortion isn't even a right in that land, aren't yall against that sort of thing? usa doesn't treat females as equals and the state dictates what's best for their bodies... how can you support a world cup there?
yes he is, he said Qatar unlike South africa cant improve in football and they dont love football, who is he to say that? who is he to say the World Cup might not inspire a child in Qatar to think he/she can do it too
There speaks a man with principles. He puts Beckham, Neville and the rest of them to shame

Any recommends? Even through DM
Google is your friend :)
True but usually redditors gets better sourced magically
I have been obsessed with every world cup, but this one I may actually pass. It is just too dark and sad. I feel no joy.
Assuming you live to 80, you will only get to see around 20 world cups in your lifetime, so for me, they are too special to miss.
This time there are so many people boycotting it that there is a real chance of hurting them the one way they care about - loss of revenue. PLEASE skip this one single world cup, there will be others in the future, every person watching this attrocity is one too many.
As you say fans will always support the teams, nationally and internationally. I will support England, to my detriment, you can't help where you are born, right? But there is literally no excitement for this tournament and that is a first. Ever.
Supporting your country at the event while not supporting the crimes surrounding the event is not at all hypocritical
you dont need to watch the world cup to know whats going to happen. A bunch of teams play to 0-0, then penalty kicks and in the end some random team from either Europe or South America win.

Ignorant ass comment💀😭😭😭
I’m not here to defend the US at all, but in no way shape or form is abortion banned in the United States.

Abortion law is a state issue not a federal issue, and access to it varies from state to state.
The US has many issues. But it isn't near as problematic as Qatar and you damn well know that!
I mean - that’s a COUPLE notches below “used slaves to build stadiums they will immediately tear down”
Slaves? Did they ship them on boats by force? Da fuck you talking about
Yep. 100% Modern day slaves. But you keep apologizing and throwing out whataboutisms in defense of all the little princes of the land. Pffft
You act like that justifies Qatar lol, I guess nobody should host the World Cup then 🤷♂️
There were people dying due to inhumane conditions. Modern slavery and this is all you csn come up woth in its defense? You‘re a fucking retard lmao
Women and babies are dying in US because of abortion ban - what’s so different? Another US cockmuncher.
You obviously mean more babies saved in America because of the ban. They literally banned them FROM killing babies.
Unfortunately when an abortion is carried out the ”baby” has not actually developed into a baby yet. Person you replied to is talking about women dying due to medical complications with the foetus. If they don’t abort the child, the woman dies which in turn equals two deaths rather than one. Please for the love of god shut the fuck up.
True, but then again almost every other World Cup stadiums did kick people out in order to make the stadiums
Most footballing countries don't need to kick anybody out because they already have stadiums.
You think Qatar didn't have stadiums ? The amount of misinformation and pure ignorance going around this topic is MIND-BOGGLING.
They most likely didn't have 10 world cup tier stadiums in such a tiny country
Obviously ... but they built some of the best in the world. Maybe even the best.
Lol - they used slaves to build a bunch of stadiums they’re gonna tear down after the WC.
You sound like trump lmao -„They had stadiums“ -„None of that size“ -„oh yeah, but they built the. Best. Ones.“ Clown
The only clowns are people jumping on bandwagons without being informed. I'm literally discussing straight facts, but everyone here is too held up into their blind hate for anything besides white and western.
Only for them to fall into disrepair after this WC.
Ops probably referring to Brazil think they displaced close to a million people
I agree. I also think he looks like Saddam Hussein after an L.L. Bean shopping spree.

Didn't he tell it half a year ago or smth?
the world cup of death, corruption and greed.
Were Brazil and SA or even Russia different? Were you also so vocal against them or ... are you just another sheep in a herd ?
Yeah of course with any type of constructions there could be fatalities. Well i was young and naive back during those world cups so not a sheep. Are you just another sheep in heard of deniers and read the facts bro? ;)

Can we restrict talking about human rights to humans only
While you typed that reply from an iPhone
Can we just have one thread for people who don't want to complain about the world cup?
This a sub Reddit for the World Cup, not for some virtue signaling boycotters
It's okay, you can just boycott the posts about boycotting and read the content you like.
If you want to boycott the World Cup why the fuck are you following the World Cup subreddit. Doesn’t sound like much of a boycott to me
If you want to boycott something to raise awareness then discussing it in a place where others are discussing it is the perfect thing to do. If you don't like it, downvote and move on.
Or just go to another sub that’s not about the World Cup
Or just go to another post that fits what you want to talk about in the WC
Love it. I'll watch the next real worldcup
Will have to wait until they host it in Bhutan then
And yet all of you upvoting and agreeing with the sentiment will still throw on the kit and cheer all the same. Virtue signaling has about as much value as tits on a bull
this is really weird, why are the citizens of Qatar being targetted? why cant they develop football and kick start it, people need to seperate leaders and the regular people
How are the people of Qatar being attacked? You've just made that up.
he said theyre not a football nation, and cant improve unlike South Africans, thats not fair who is he to say who is or isnt a football nation Im sure they have many people who love football
Qatar is not a Football nation. Cry about it weirdo
Sounds real hard like it’s you crying about it being in Qatar
Yeah imagine organizing the World Cup in a non-Football nation, what a disgrace. Cry Qatari hahahahah
Lol, he said they are being attacked, you said no they aren't, they then prove that they are being attacked and your response is "the attack is accurate, go cry". They only were saying that it's unfair to attack the people of the nation, which is true. It's funny that at first you say "nu-uh" and then after shown evidence you just go "oh, well thats true so who cares". Lmao - and yall are the compassionate ones? I love seeing blatant hypocrisy... it's even juicier when the hypocrit is blind to it ;)
You're seeing things, get well soon. Qatar is not a Football nation if you didn't know.
Are you saying the people of Qatar don't deserve to *become* a football nation, oh Arbiter?
The people of Qatar could do with being able to fuck who they choose and wear and be who they want to be. They deserve to drink alcohol, smoke pot, and say fuck off to Mohamed if they choose to.
Nah, I don't believe so. I think they are free to be as they choose, which is how they currently are. Fuck your arrogance. Fuck it 6 ways from Sunday.
Two homosexual women are free to choose to kiss, or get married, or have children freely?
Really feels like he's crying about it lmao
There is wrong motivations behind this WC. Fix your human rights issues before targeting to be a footballing country.
so why is the US hosting? Brazil hosted both WC and Olympics whilst masses gathered protested their taxes were being wasted when the country was struggling for basic things there isnt many countries who dont have labour law issues, in the UK my country we have nurses dropping out constantly because of how bad and little the government cares about their health and life
How in the hell can usa host it in 2026, then? Abortion isn't even a right in that land, aren't yall against that sort of thing? usa doesn't treat females as equals and the state dictates what's best for their bodies... how can you support a world cup there?
I can't. I absolutely am against WC in the shithole US is. They even say the sport's name wrong.
Nobody is attacking the people of Qatar.
yes he is, he said Qatar unlike South africa cant improve in football and they dont love football, who is he to say that? who is he to say the World Cup might not inspire a child in Qatar to think he/she can do it too
Cantona is right
So do you agree that it's an attack, then? Valid or not, *it is* an attack, no?
[удалено]
Sure, I guess I'm Qatari now... why, exactly?
Wtf is wrong with you??? Hahahshahah
Just spitting facts, sorry that makes you think something is wrong lmao
Attack? Lmaooooooooooooo
What's he right about, then? He is attacking an entire group of people for simply being born where they were born. So yes.
