@mousterpiece Not new but badly executed. Especially when you cull the linear TV business in a way he did. That cut of a substantial revenue stream and alienated many business partners.

The World Cup on Qatar puts them in the spotlight and they have difficulties to deal with this high level of attention.
Overall people around the globe have become more sensitive to topics like human rights, social justice, climate impact etc - more so than 12 years ago when the Cup was awarded (in rather suspicious circumstances). So time change and perspective change. Face the music and either dance - or look awkward.

It’s about interacting and Discovery. Still missing this a bit here.
