f plenty of articles are available reporting on the matches then there's room for someone else to report on the non competitive aspect of the world cup.

What does that have to do with the fact that the other guy stated, and you’re arguing in support of, it’s the job of journalists to wear gay pride shirts and make numerous political statements in opposition of the host country in order to cover World Cup matches?

There isn’t a non-competitive aspect of the World Cup. That’s just one of many things you progressives don’t understand.

It's well known that Qatar had no business being awarded the wc by FIFA. I have no problem if Wahl was trying to bring that to the attention of the unaware casual fan.

If you want articles written about the corruption of fifa and the bidding/host selection process, fine. There have been plenty of them written since the announcement was made years ago. You don’t need to be in Qatar to write those articles either.

Or you could go to Qatar and do it, very publicly, on multiple occasions. Just don’t start crying if/when the shitty government you’re writing these articles about does shitty things in response.

I'm not a progressive you moron, I voted for trump and a straight Republican ticket in 2020.

I don't know shite about Wahl. If he was one of the Britney griner types constantly whining about America, only to find real oppression elsewhere, than I do find a bit of irony in his outcome.

However, my point is that calling out Qatar's abysmal human rights record isn't akin to championing tranny storytime for kindergarteners.

Wahl's widow is an MD and a medical journalist who specializes in infectious diseases and global health. This may become very interesting.

Isn’t that a good thing? He was free to speak his mind. How does your conservative bubble feel?

Then stop acting like one in this thread.

This doesn’t align at all with your previous posts in this thread saying he should be doing what he did. Complexly illogical, very progressive-like actually.

Your “point” was addressed multiple times in my posts. You’ve chosen to not respond to them for some reason.

Qatar’s human rights record has nothing to do with the World Cup. It existed long before the host selection was announce, and will continue to exist long after the event is over and forgotten.

And the Qatar government and citizens were free to “accost” him for doing so. You’re not complaining about that, are you?

Probably sane and rational, and absent the need to support deviancy and perversion.

So all of the workers that died working on the stadium is not a human rights issue to you?

It does, because Qatar's winning bid for the world cup is as legit as the 2020 election.

Is the building of the stadium the only time workers in Qatar have died or been put in terrible conditions?

Completely meaningless nonsense.

You’re acting like a progressive again.

Can you offer an explanation why large numbers of migrant workers building the stadiums dying isn’t related to human rights instead of just name calling?

Are you a real life doctor that has seen an increase in myocarditis among 48 year old men since the vaccine came out? There were rumblings about it amongst younger people, but since I’m sure you’re so well versed in it you’re telling me it now also applies to people in their late 40s?

Can you respond to posts that have already answered your moronic questions and statements instead of repeating them endlessly as if they haven’t already been addressed?

Of course, but daily we hear, over and over, that this isn't possible in the hateful US.

People who don't agree with my stupidity are "conservatives". We already know from your post history you would censor your enemies.

You'll never see the irony in your hatred.

Progressives can only view ANYTHING through a political lens. Nothing isnt political, and yes thats a purposeful double negative.

Y’all are going to struggle on this one. Could easily take the side of assuming foul play by Qatari’s but y’all are too deep into Covid vax conspiracies

I mean the news is out there about healthy young people dying of heart failure after being loaded up with all these Covid shots.

That’s more realistic than the Muhammad’s off’ing him because if his views.

His wife is a huge Covid shot enthusiast.
