FIFA World Cup Boycott Over

..

The Winter FIFA Corld Cup of Football ended on Sunday with a frenzied finish by France to force a shoot-out won Argentina. My friends called to exclaim how great was the game to whihc I replied, "I boycotted the FIFA cup."

"It 's the greatest game in the world."

"I agree and I have watched every match in 2010, 2014, and 2014, but not a single one in 2022."

My friends chided my boycott as one man's effort in futility.

"You're not going to change anything."

And they're probably right, however my life as a criminal, poet, and working man has always contradicted the general populace's adherence to the status quo and with more than one good reason about rejecting the FIFA World Cup.

FIFA granted Qatar the rights to the World Cup over Australia after the enire organization had been bribed billions of dollars.

Oatar World Cup Boycott

The Qatar peninsula has been populated for thousands of years. In the 1800s the peninsula provided pearls to the Ottoman Empire and later became a British Protectorate. The sleepy Gulf city gained importance with the discovery of oil and natural gas. Its economy swelled with the worldwide demand for fossil fuels and enriched the ruling Thani family with billions of petrol dollars, enabling the small peninsula to win in 2011 the rights the the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from Bangladesh, India, and Nepal were hired by employment agencies demanding exorbitant fees to guarantee a working visa. All these men were seeking to support their impoverished families, however they were cheated of their wages and thousands have died under the desert sun without any criticism from FIFA the governing body for the World Cup.

Money overruled any and all abuses.

The 2014 Word Cup in Brazil cost $13 billion.

The 2018 World Cup in Russia topped $15 billion.

That was nothing.

The bill for the 2022 Qatar World has been estimated at $370 billion from oil price manipulations or the combined GDP of the fifty poorest countries on Earth.

Human rights were trampled by the Qatar Sharia law.

FIFA backed their choice to the hilt.

I've watched most of this century's World Cup, but I am boycotting Qatar 100%.

The horrible living conditions of the migrant workers, the uncounted death, the cheating them of wages, and FIFA's corruption has destroyed one of the greatest sporting events in the world.

Fuck Qatar. Fuck FIFA. Fuck the World Cup.

BOYCOTT.

It's not too late.
