Qatar preparing to be the GOAT World Cup, plans to build underwater TV studio

Qatar is considering building an underwater broadcast studio for use during TV coverage for the FIFA World Cup in 2022, a designer working on potential plans for the project has revealed.
“The project we are in the process of designing for is an underwater broadcast centre [and] is quite a real possibility,” Patric Douglas, CEO of Reef Worlds, told Arabian Business in a phone interview from its base in Los Angeles.
Douglas said Qatar’s World Cup authorities “like the design” and “they like the notion of doing the World Cup underwater with sharks swimming around.”
The site for the proposed underwater broadcast centre would be a carved out area of rock, which would then be turned into a giant aquarium.
The project is likely to cost around $30 million to build and Douglas said the funding for it would be underwritten by broadcasters eager to use the unusual venue as a broadcast base when the Gulf state hosts the FIFA World Cup in 2022.
“You could underwrite the entire thing with one Sky or Latin broadcast network, they will pay you enough money to finance this thing,” Douglas claimed

Will the slaves be used as food for the sharks?

It will really diversify the statistics of slave labor killed on the job sites to add drowning.

It's gonna be funny when they pan to some halfwit anchor in the studio and you see the bloated corpse of some poor Bangladeshi migrant worker float into the shot. Qatar 2022 everybody!!

So networks already paying billions are going to pay 10s of millions more for this horrible idea.
I have a feeling there isn't a single producer who thinks this is a good idea. Would rather see the a/c in the outdoor stadiums.

I guess we all forgot about the air conditioned stadiums. This is the worst decision of all-time, just behind Russia in 2018. FIFA makes the Olympics and Louisiana politics look transparent.

The World Cup is heading to an impending death. International soccer is taking a back seat.

Pfft. The sharks will be used as food for the slaves.

I am hoping for the greatest failure of all time.

Well I see that the slave death comments have been taken care of from all angles.

Exactly. I'll believe this when I see the air conditioned outdoor stadiums

What about the artificial clouds we were promised?

Hopefully the Qatari's involved with the bribery and Sepp are both being interviewed in that studio when the glass breaks and drowns that fat Swiss frick.
