Technically he said "I feel a migrant worker" which is ....significantly different.

i will say it was quite impressive he was able to make it up to the podium with all that qatari blood money weighing his pockets down.

I don't watch kickball, I don't even really know anything about the world cup. But god DAMN this has gotta be up there with the dumbest words uttered in history.

I'd like to point out that like in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Dubai--most migrant workers in Qatar aren't allowed in public spaces like shopping centers and malls.

I'd like to see this idiot sit in a non-air conditioned room with 8 other guys, work in manual labor, and watch as people drive around to enjoy cinemas, marble-floored food courts and swimming pools. While knowing that even if he showered and put on his best shirt and set foot in those places, the security guards would immediately order him to leave.

Can someone give tl;dr? I watched first 20 seconds of the press and he keep saying 'I feel this I feel that'. How hard is it to make a point across, I don't have time for interpreting crap poetry.

That's funnily enough only one of many dumb quotes from the speech. There are also gems like Europe should apologize before handing out criticism over slavery for the next 3000 years and Western companies take money from Qatari too, so what's the matter when FIFA does it and my personal favourite, mainly used by intellectual dumpsters like India: Hypocrisy of the West.

Hey, he's rich -- he can get booze or a migrant worker in Qatar real easy, if he asks around.

FIFA is such trash that I'm sure they've already decided which team the refs will let win. The World Cup is way below Eurovision.

You know the best way to make up for slavery in your past? Not doing it anymore. That's what we did

No you don’t get it, when he was a child he was bullied for having red hair and freckles. He completely understands what it’s like to be persecuted as an LGBTQ+ person in Qatar. The “G” stands for ginger after all!

According to him, Europe is really the assholes for not offering a similar system for them. Europe needs to apologize for the next 3,000 years for slavery but are also pieces of shit for not reintroducing slavery

So he stopped feeling gay? Or does he feel like a gay migrant worker now?

That would require him to think about migrant workers' feelings, which we all know he hasn't.

.....this is some 4D chess move that Im not understanding.....

.....its so removed from reality it has to be true: Infantino is is a migrant from Hell, and his temporary Earth-Visa allows him to work for FIFA.

Makes sense, now.

This is the reason I hate football. Its organisations cause huge human suffering across the world because their bribes are more important. They lavish footballers with ungodly sums of money, quite a lot of them then turn out to be rapists. Then the fans cause endless destruction with rioting, not even because their team lost half the time, just because its expected of football fans now so hey why not?

Much too late, first game is already tomorrow. After Qatar pulled their alcohol reversal it became obvious they timed it for when it was too late for people to cancel and refund.
