Isn't it safe to conclude he's talking about the host country of the World Cup?

#22Interesting that with something as big as football, the organisers can get away with a lot of bad taste decisions. They can host wherever they want and they will be guaranteed a sufficient turnout thanks to the absolute massiveness of the fanbase.
Woman's rights or workers rights in a faraway country? Fat load of nothing issues for many who want to see their country in the semis.

#23how they can know? besides forbidding dating apps i don't think police officers will sit in the bars to make sure no one is going home with someone they just met. though the rules there are quite strict due to the fact this is islamic state
> how they can know? This reminds me of the American boy who stole a poster in North Korea, after which he was imprisoned and presumably tortured for 15 months, and died a week after returning home, after having been in a coma for a year: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40335169 I could fear a few football fans are going to end up in the Qatari prison system because they don't understand that the consequence…
A 22 year old is a boy now?

#24Why is no one trying to kick Qatar out of the Swift network?
It's not a rival empire.

#25"public displays of affection are frowned upon regardless of sexual orientation" That, I agree with.
Sorry if I come across as aggressive or condescending. But why? I'm don't immediately disagree with your opinion, just curious.

Is "World Cup" public? I assume this is an event organised by private (for-profit) entity (FIFA).
FIFA is actually registered as a non-profit organisation.
...despite making profits of around $250M/year with cash reserves of over $2.5B.

Why does Qatar have to force their values on people who are visiting for an international event? Why should any country be allowed to regulate what I do in the privacy of my bedroom between consenting adults? You being downvoted has nothing to do with intolerance towards other cultures and religions, just Qatar being an example of a country forcing values on others in the privacy of their bedrooms.

Read the article? It's about extra marital sex. So it includes people who have known each other for a long time but are just not married.

#29This is where ethics and money collide. If you participate, you’re complicit. The players are comfortable enough to say no, and the punters can stick to the local pub or even bite hard and “stay home” entirely - let the advertisers know. Talk it cheap. Actions mean more but both have costs. Willing to pay?
> The players are comfortable enough to say no
Not if saying no risks ending your career. You don't become a pro football player and play in the world cup just for thr money.
