Yeah… I think I AM going to ‘Qatar’ this World Cup out of my schedule.

Edit: FIFA President Blatter says picking Qatar to host the World Cup was a ‘mistake’

Exactly. Qatar has been criticised for its stance on same-sex relationships, its human rights record and its treatment of migrant workers. As much as I love the sport, players and have not missed a single World Cup since Diego Maradona scored his “Hand of God” goal against England in 1986… I, for one, would not be able to forgive myself for supporting a World Cup hosted by Qatar with Iran or Russia playing and, as a result, unfortunately I am going to be busy painting my pretty little toenails and dyeing my hair this year.
Edit: Serious answer - I also post articles about Russia, China, Iran & North Korea… Not because I am promoting them, but because I want to bring attention to the atrocities they commit.
I don’t need anymore of ‘that sweet important Reddit karma’, as you so explicitly put it as I have earned enough front page karma in the last 3 months to last me a lifetime. However, I am glad that some trolls can earn karma at my expense. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Oh, and BTW… I am not a ‘liar’ or a ‘he’ 🤦♀️

OMG… “Another Iranian teen girl beaten to death by police today for tearing Khomeini's photo”
Honestly this story and the protests are heartbreaking. These women and men are so incredibly brave and strong and they truly deserve so much better. I hope these sacrifices bring change soon!

Yes, I notice a pattern here… BTW… Why is North Korea also not on this list of potential future winners, yet?

Well, I don’t think these countries had any chance of winning The Nobel Peace Prize next year, anyways.
