Totally insane! Hoping to be part of this celebration when the country I'm rooting for, wins the cup!

WTF is the Washington Monument doing in Buenos Aires???

I'm blaming FIFA for the continuation of human rights abuses. No fans. I'm blaming fans for enabling FIFA b/c they know exactly where the money they give to FIFA goes. If fans actually cared, nobody would have gone to Qatar. If fans actually cared, 2022 wouldn't have been the most watch World Cup ever. If fans actually cared, they wouldn't be happy spectating a sport in a stadium constructed with SLAVE LABOR. Do you really not have a problem with that as a fan? You just blame FIFA for everything and b/c you're watching the sport there's no blood on your hands? That's a very convenient way of looking at things.

The exact same mentality of companies, individuals, and countries that did business with Nazi Germany. Same exact mentality of companies, individuals, and countries continuing to do business with Russia. They're not the ones actively committing those atrocities so who cares? It's somebody else. You're just giving them money. Sure that money goes directly into committing those atrocities, but you're a good person. Sure...

As long as people keep giving money to FIFA, continue watching the World Cup, nothing will change. You can try and keep slapping FIFA on the wrist. See how far that gets you

Right. Do I really need to explain the difference between causing something and enabling something? FIFA gets away with all of this b/c of how much money they make. As long as FIFA continues to make an absurd amounts of money, the atrocities and corruption continue. Simple as that.

If you knew a local business was polluting the local water supply killing millions, would you keep going there to give them your business? You know where your money is going. You know what's going on.

So much toxic nationalism.

You literally said "that worldwide love for the game and celebrations that will ensure those atrocities and corruption continue."

not only are you blaming soccer fans for the continuation of human rights abuses, but you're also claiming they dont care about human rights abuses since they still celebrate their team winning. lol, keep blaming ordinary people for the abuse perpetrated by those in power, see how far that gets you

Or as The Orville calls it, the designated pee corner.

I barely remember that. It was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

Yeah I was about to say that. If a drone pilot loses control the drone basically becomes a flying rock. Depending on the drone/pilot it’s rare, but if it does lose connection then it’s very dangerous.

Yeah that's not what I said at all or even implied.

people loving soccer isn't the cause of human rights abuses, people in power abusing humans is the cause of human rights abuse. if you blame celebrating soccer fans for poor working conditions then you're just stupid, idk what else to tell you

Lots of people saying Obama's inauguration was small and low energy and nobody even attended. Maybe it didn't even happen. Who knows? But a lot of great people are saying it.

I can't tell if this is a really poor strawman or if you genuinely have a mental disorder

Over 200,000+

1.8m were at Obama's 2009 inauguration.

yea you tell em, try and make people feel guilty for loving soccer. YOURE LOVE OF SOCCER CAUSES ATROCITIES no lol, qatar being a corrupt society and FIFA being corrupt is what caused atrocities, not worldwide love of soccer moron

Yes! Your moms house.

I'm from Buenos Aires, and I say kill 'em all!

It's that worldwide love for the game and celebrations that will ensure those atrocities and corruption continue. In the end nobody really cares. It's bleak, sure. But hey, happy times right?

Happy to see no burning car and graffiti all over the place

Before I even saw this comment I sent this to my buddy saying it looks like the end of a Star Wars movie after a planet stops the galactic empire. Completely spot on

Everywhere you can…

Covid has not been a threat in most western countries for nearly 9 months by now, move on.
