Didn't watch Qatar either. Breaks my heart a little more every time I think about all the shit FIFA is endorsing, because I used to love watching world cups, but the more I become aware of the sheer corruption around it, the more it taints those sweet memories with a bitter aftertaste.

Why the fuck does greed have to ruin everything.

    There was no greed or corruption before capitalism.

    Yes, there was, but it wasn't ruining everything.

    Yeah, feudalism was dandy, communism a utopia and theocracies a paradise on earth.

    Now, you can add capitalism to that list. IDK, maybe not come back to a monarchy? But, that's for Americans to decide, or, at least that's my opinion.

    I did not just very purposefully refrained from watching Qatar, I actually started boycotting sponsors - such as Coca Cola - from then onward.

    Mind you, thanks to Trump since I've expanded that boycott to cover all American products and companies.
