The only ethical behavior is boycotting all WCs

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.

i believe all the folks who were involved in Russia and qatar getting the wc are fired/indicted?

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

I'm not educated on this, but was it the same people?

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