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.
