Tomorrow begins the #WorldCup.
Since #FIFA awarded it to Qatar, over 6500 migrant workers have died, from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka alone.
Remember when you're watching - every single match, for every minute of play, that's more than 1 worker who died.
Or, for all 8 stadia in Qatar - that's 8 workers for every yard down the pitch, goal-to-goal. Running over the bodies of workers.
Which is why I won't be watching.
We make choices, all the time, about whose lives are important, who will be featured on the field, who will be speaking from the sidelines.
And whose lives are unimportant, who lies still under the grass, who lies unnoticed and unseen.
Make yours. #WorldCup
@emmessenn For his press conference yesterday alone, #FIFA President Infantino has got to go.
He presumed to speak for the Arab, African, LGBTQ, Disabled, and migrant worker communities - to dismiss their criticisms of him and FIFA.
@rerutled mind blowing really that the chief exec of an organisation can speak about groups of marginalised people like he's putting on a scarf and taking off a coat #FIFAiscorrupt
Infantino has to go and FIFA has to be torn down...
