By any standard, the only ethical, humane behavior regarding this WC is Boycott. Anyone who, for any reason whatever, did not Boycott this travesty, deserves the worst possible consequences.

Ultimately, you're right, and as time goes on, only the worst countries will be interested in the inhumane, greed - driven business of WC construction, displacement, and laying waste to communities. But one step at a time.

There is no need to demolish anything or build new stadiums to host a World Cup or Olympics. Countries that don’t already have the infrastructure shouldn’t host it.

International sports are awesome, but FIFA is screwy.

Maybe, but this isn't really the first case of the FIFA board being completely corrupt and overlooking human rights abuses.

No, it's different people, but corruption is the one thread that connects them.

Totally agree. I boycotted the World Cup this year. And every other year for that matter.
