What are your thoughts on Qatar hosting the world cup?

What are your thoughts about them hosting the world cup with their poor Human Rights records?

Do you think us westerners are being hypocrites when we have big problems ourselves?

Qatar hosting the world cup is fine because simply put they can afford it. Its an investment that will see very little gain after the cup in my opinion but for them its very little lost. Furthermore, people aren't going there for the human rights treatment nor residency so as important of an issue that may be, its relevant to the game itself. FIFA can clean up their image all they like but some smudges remain. Its all about the money and FIFA is known for that. The biggest issue is the heat and how playing in harsh temperatures for athletes is a direct concern to the game. All other issues are political

The idea of bringing the world cup to your country is you can showcase the best it has to offer the world. It should be a great marketing opportunity that'll make people in the future think hey I'd love to visit there. I'm not quite getting that with Qatar, all its done is highlight the negative side.

Western human rights too right? but in my opinion Qatar bought this organization with money. because the same countries always organize in the past. Why is it always made in America, Italy, Germany, England?
