I disagree.

For the reason that Qatar chose to bid and host the show. There have been over scores of sports festivals held over the globe over the last century and anyone bidding for a sports festival knows what comes with it.

Nobody was desperately looking for a host. Countries are the ones looking to host the games

Sports tourists are typically well Heeled and from liberal economies. Successful athletes are colourful and often scandalous characters.

None of this is is hidden knowledge

Dubai is looking to the future and have decided tourism is the future. They are gradually phasing out Islamic law because you can only really enforce that on migrant workers who want your money
Tourists, whose money you want, will simply go elsewhere.

It's like saying I want to host Woodstock and I don't want weed.


This goes beyond gays. Qatar is an autocratic theocracy.

Even slightly ironic as Arab men have strong bro vibes, holding hands, hugging and all that

The other day I saw a video of Qatari security harassing a journalist who had been issued a pass.

You want to watch football without beer? Without saucy female fans? With restrictions on taking pictures?

Football is a western invention and it comes with western vices

He was absolutely right.

The US men's national team did something that I found particularly irritating, by using the rainbow colour scheme on their badge in Qatar, after the Qatari's said they don't want any gay PDA. In their country


Qatar is a Muslim country. Islam permits polygamy. The US won't allow Qataris in the US to marry more than one wife because Bigamy is there is a criminal offence.

There is a huge deal of hypocrisy coming from Western nations at this point in time. Fam, just shut up, play your football and go back to your country in 28 days

I agree with your views on western vices and sports tourism.

But I also assert that every country should have the rights to set their own laws.

That's why I gave the example of polygamy. Did the USA legalise polygamy for well heeled Qatari Muslim visitors to any sports event there?

So why should Qatar be forced to accept something that is fundamentally alien to their culture?

Israel, their middle Eastern neighbour that shares significant cultural elements in Qatar took the step of advising all Israeli visitors to Qatar to downplay their Jewish Heritage for the duration of the world cup


Their house, their rules bro.

So why should Qatar be forced to accept something that is fundamentally alien to their culture?

The onus was on FIFA not to award the hosting rights to Qatar. Qatar did not contract Danny Ocean and his boys to carry out a high level heist and snatch the hosting rights from FIFA HQ.

You can't expect a country to change its laws for a sporting event. When FIFA was awarding it to Qatar i am sure their brain was not leaking oil, and they knew that Qatar was autocratic.

Culture started existing when man evolved social (especially communication) skills. For example, without a language (one of the elements of culture), you can't interact with others.

And without social interactions, the society, as we know it, breaks down, and our existence will be in jeopardy.

That's why Aristotle said, "man is a social animal." No one can survive in isolation.

You need the elements of culture, which are language, norms, values, customs, and beliefs (religion), to socialize and relate with other people.

And yes, culture is a social construct. All things we humans use are one form of construct or the other, including the religion that Nigerians cherish the most.

There's no man without a culture. Have you seen one?

Havertz10:
You don’t need a cultural identity to socialize, you can socialize with anybody irrespective of their culture freely, you both choose to speak in pointless languages because you simply don’t want the other person to understand, so much for socialization

Na the summary of everything be this, FIFA goofed by giving the hosting rights to Qatar. I'm sure there are moderate Muslim nations that FIFA could have encouraged to bid for the hosting but Qatar waived money to them, and we're having to subject an event associated with basic liberalism to the extreme culture of the Qatari.

Fans spend 3 to 8 years preparing for the world cup and the entire ambience that comes with the event, so it's not enough to say it's just 28 days and the fans should be able to cope, it's 28 days that fans have spent years preparing for.

Despite knowing the sort of things that come with it, Qatar decided to bid for the world cup, because it gives them the opportunity for some weird power play. Everybody already knows Qatar for its ways, so what we're now having is the burden of tolerance being placed on fans from more liberal societies, after all it's just 28 days, accept their way of life, bla bla bla.

A001:
Football is alien to Islam and the Arab culture. Traditionally and fundamentally, it's haram (unlawful) in the religion, and many Islamic scholars preach against Muslims engaging in it.

Even many erudite scholars in Saudi, the home of Islam, criticize their country's participation in it.

I believe Qatar is the erring party here.

Culture is the way of life of a people. There has and will always be culture; culture evolves, and some faster than others. Your believing you don't need a "cultural construct" to dictate the way you live your life is a culture in itself, one you share with those that hold similar belief.
