Is there anything more sinister than the Qatar/FIFA WC slave labor story that broke today?

Really is Sepp Blatter even going to be alive once that world cup rolls around? He's already 77, christ I could only imagine what he's gonna look like then, Blats being wheeled out during the opening ceremony looking like Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China, clapping his hooks together in jubilation that he realized a world cup built upon the remains of migrant Nepalese men and women.

I actually sorta want to see that :ehh:

when it comes to to the world cup, anything other than the actual games is a sham. and it's only gonna get worse, especially now that americans care more and more tbh. it's our modern day boardwalk empire

Nothing at all to do with the Ozil tranfser, but I love Wenger, and more and more, i'm loving everything he stands for. Yes, the man is crazy, but that's why I appreciate him, more and more. I was reading some of the reaction to Bendtner. and It struck me, just how crazy and wacky Wenger is.

When you look at players like Bendtner, and how Wenger dealt with them, but that I mean young attacking players, who weren't good enough to play their natural positions, or had someone better in front of them. His solution is always just to stick them out wide:laff:

Llundberg(Worked Brilliantly)
Reyes(Worked, but his bytchassness genes caught up to him, what could've been:sadbron:)
Wallcott
Bendtner
Merida
Vela
Oxtail
Poldolski

And countless other player

Man is a trip, can't help but love him.

Yeah,

This is truly one of those stories that you just gotta throw your hands up and feel a little bit helpless :yeshrug: (I guess that's a lot of news stories).

It's already too corrupt to even think of putting a stop to. Too many hand have been shook, palms greased, winks placed so on.

Minus the last part, it's the same for every big event.

the story was also posted in HL. I liked Hulk's post about Qatar looking like the opening credits to Blade Runner in 2022 :pachaha:

I picture something like Cloud City, or at least an abandoned game of Sim City.

Miley Cyrus rapping has me hoping for a gigantic asteroid to wipe us clean. Her adlib game is Jeezy levels.

This shyt been happening for years in this area. Stories already broke when they were building the Burj Khalifa so nothing surprises me anymore from Qatar/UAE/Bahrain oil tyc00ns. In a country, poor people are as poor as rich people are rich. And those Persian Gulf dudes are rich as hell.
These Nepalese rather get enslaved and earn a little money than live in better conditions but struggling money-wise.
As years goes, I realized more and more how lucky I (and we) am to be born in a ex-colonizing 1st world country. I could be unemployed, sick and depraved and have my state taking care of me (even in jail) while others in the world could die in a matter of days. It's crazy how unfair the world is.

But what can we do about it ? Rally ? Outrage ? Talk about it ? Send money ?
We might do that now and in 2022, we'll watch the WC games supporting our teams sipping beers with friends in front of a 60' screen and during half time we will be like "-You know thousands of nepalese died building those stadiums ? -Yeah, horrible stuff, shyt was outrageous, fukk those qatari !" and then we will smile when the second half will start. :manny:
