Why's he an invader in the title?
Is that the word the Qatari government used? He seems more like a disruptor or protestor. Invader implies he's there to stay or he's somehow going to make the place his own. I don't believe that's the case.

Still surprised they didn't put him in jail or deport him (just to be clear I am glad he isn't serving time, just surprised at the lack of cruelty from the regime)

What's what "storming the field" is in futbol.
Pitch invasion.
Ergo he is a pitch invader vis-a-vis his actions.

When this story first broke every article called him a "pitch invader". I guess it's just the term that the people who call soccer "football" use for "idiot who runs onto the field".
AudibleNod t1_iy8m9bb wrote
Fair enough.

No, it's the standard term.

"Fun" fact.
Shari'a law typically says you can only execute Muslims for being gay in countries that have Shari'a law.
If you're a minority non-Muslim and you're gay, you only get sent to prison for like 35 years.

Thank You. Also being snippy isn't a good look. I asked politely.
Nerdlinger t1_iy8pjkl wrote
You also disagreed while having no knowledge of the topic and not even bothering to do a five second google search. But instead of taking a moment to verify it for yourself you asked someone else to do the work for you while also implying that the person you are asking for help is wrong.
It may have been polite on the surface, but that's it.

So someone having a different point to you is a problem, but when they also ask for a correction you get snippy.
Sorry you feel put upon to inform people when they ask politely. I usually answer because I like to help people.
>It may have been polite on the surface, but that's it.
It is totally polite. I ask for a context and said I was open. Wow.

So? I can disagree and be wrong at the same time. I asked for a correction openly. You got mad.

It's not a different point. It is you disagreeing with an indisputable, easily verified fact. There is a difference between "it's a bit chilly today" and "it is snowing in Ecuador right now".
> It is totally polite. I ask for a context and said I was open. Wow.
No, totally polite may have been something along the lines of "Oh that's interesting, I didn't know that. Do you have an example of its use in a regular game so I can familiarize myself with it a bit more?" But even that is showing a lack of willingness on your part to look for yourself before asking others to do your research for you.

Pitch invader is what the British press calls anyone who runs on the field. They are probably just following that precedent.

JDGumby t1_iy9e3uv wrote
Not really, given that you were trying to blame it on Islam when it is completely irrelevant because it wouldn't matter what they were protesting - the exact same thing would happen [edit: when some dumbass runs out onto the field in the middle of an event]. And would happen anywhere else in the world.
ThisistheInfiniteIs t1_iy9g7c7 wrote
>when it is completely irrelevant
Yeah, you obviously don't understand, that is exactly what matters. Islam is overwhelming responsible for the majority of hateful, mistreatment, oppression and senseless murder of women, girls, LGBTQ folks and atheists for imaginary crimes.
There are still more than a dozen Muslim countries where the punishment for simply being gay or an atheist is DEATH.
I mean seriously, and banning rainbows? That is some pretty ignorant, backwards, bronze age, garbage. This absolutely would not happen "anywhere else in the world".
The lies of religious superstition are the literal worst.

I don’t think most people were expecting an execution. Likeliest of outcomes was an extremely long prison sentence, or some form of barbaric physical punishment like a whipping. They don’t just execute people. They’re cruel in all kinds of other ways.

It is never worth it. Most of the pitch invaders left are just people who have their whole identity tied toward it and are on a ego trip. There isn’t much punishment from it tho, just usually a ban and a fine sometimes.

deller85 t1_iyb91tj wrote
That is the case. I originally disagreed with your assertion, however after looking into it, I agree it is not the Pride flag. The Pride flag has colors in a different order and doesn't have the word "pace" emblazoned across it. Google "rainbow flag world cup" and you'll see the differences between it and the Pride flag.
Even so the average person won't look into it and the symbolism still stands in the majority's eyes. So win-win for symbolism on both accounts I guess.

North Korea will gladly imprison westerners for benign stuff and even killed one of them. Now, Qatar isn't North Korea, but if North Korea tortures and kills and American for stealing a poster, sending this guy to prison for a very long time doesn't seem far fetched. If all eyes weren't on them right now, I bet he'd be in a living hell.

Hell, I’d not be shocked if he’d been contacted by his country’s embassy and strongly pushed to leave, to avoid having a diplomatic kerfuffle later if Qatar decides to arrest him again when the competition concludes. Would be an embarrassment to then have to face public pressure to get him released, rather than just bring him home asap.
