No one is trying to shame anybody. FIFA has proved they're corrupt and only care about money and Qatar... well, it's Qatar. All people are saying is that if you stream it illegally, you won't be giving them any money while you can still enjoy the whole tournament. If you just want to ignore all that and watch it normally, that's perfectly fine. Some of us don't want to give money to a corrupt country/organization but still want to watch and support our national team so there are other ways to watch it. Simple as that.

You should have replied to that comment rather than posting a top level comment if your thoughts on the matter requires the context.

It's not about shaming, it's about not giving FIFA and quatar the return they expected to show that you cannot bend morals as far as you want without consequences

The money has changed hands. If noone watches it, it's the sponsors that lose out. Fifa sells the rights years ago, they have their money. Qatar doesn't get any of that now either. Pirating isn't going to hurt the people you think it is.

It sets a precedent for the future. Sure FIFA already got their money for this world cup, but if people don't watch they'll need to change in the future.

Why do you act like that’s a bad thing? The sponsors are part of all this too.

Never said it was. I want to see the corruption eliminated. But I get tired of people "taking a stand" without understanding what the problem is or how to really fix it. It's like doing a #endthecorruption and believing you're helping.
