Awarding the 2022 Word Cup to a regime like that in #Qatar was always going to backfire on #FIFA. It’s sad, though not entirely unsurprising, that the biggest outcry from traveling fans will be over alcohol sale and provision, and not over #minorityrights or modern-day slavery that Qatar employed to get the tournament ready.

I usually enjoy watching the World Cup, but this year will be avoiding it entirely. Difficult to do in #Germany but necessary! #boycott
