Qatar Accused of Slave Labour and Exploitation of Immigrant Workers & FOOTBALLERS!

This is a fascinating article from CNN about the legal/ethical problems in Qatar and how they've essentially tricked people to come and work for them only to trap them in the country and force them to work for free.

I know some of you have the attention span of a fly, but try to read it. It is eye-opening. FIFA is not only a disgrace to football, it is a disgrace to sports in general and to all humanity.

That's just friggin' disgusting. And I remember that argument on FootyRoom where people were telling Lodatz to "give Qatar a chance". Even I myself thought that Qatar may not be too bad of a choice. But after Lodatz's reasoning, I changed my mind. Now this article has FIXED my opinion that Qatar has no right or privilege to host the World Cup.

"My life now is a disaster," he said. "Who can help me?"Ouaddou has managed to leave, but his battle continues and the experience has left a bitter taste.

"When I saw on TV that they [FIFA] gave Qatar the World Cup I said it was maybe a good thing because football belongs to the world, football has no borders." he said.

"After two years living in that country my thinking has changed. I am a man who respects human rights and in this country, I can tell you, they are walking on human beings.

"A country that doesn't respect human beings does not deserve the right to organize the best competition in the world."


Says it all. If FIFA were not already disgraced enough by giving the tournament to Qatar, they 100% should be for failing to strip Qatar of the tournament in light of what is going on.

"You will be proud of us!" they said in Qatar. Yeah. Right.
