If the social media influences staying there had gotten paid and fed you would be reading reviews that make that look like a high rollers suite at the Bellagio with food from the French Laundry

Hey, Qatar may be a joke, but at least there are no vuvuzelas in the crowd.

We have that going for us

That was quite possibly the most annoying World Cup ever.

They had 12 years and unlimited money and all they could come up with was FyreFest 2.0? Sad.

I'm actually ok with it. Redzone for the early games and cowboys at 3:00.

Just settled in on the exact same plan.

I mean, why would he? And then complain about it.

Its not a protest if not one complains.
So you shouldn't be surprised that people respond to your protest. The point of protest is to elicit a response.

That tweet screams look at me. He doesn't care about the gays in Qatar, he cares about his followers and likes. Like a shirt is going to change the world.

Don't care for his politics as he's the typical misinformed lib. But I will hand it to him that he actually puts himself out there for these kind of stories. He did investigative stories with the migrant workers in Qatar earlier in the year. Don't care for the whining part of it but props to him for following through.

It's obvious y'all don't like him wearing it, and that's your prerogative, but the Qataris have said publicly that rainbow attire is allowed at matches. Apparently not all their stadium personnel got that memo.

Yep, he's now done more than any of the countries actually involved have.

Anyone else streaming to their TV on the Fox Sports app? The quality is terrible for me right now. Looks like I'm watching World Cup 1994.

FIFA ticketing app apparently crashed, so a ton of people had trouble getting into England game and hearing a ton also with issues for USA/Wales.

Probably makes Ticketmaster feel a little better.

The peacock feed (spanish) is good on the app. How does it look on your laptop or phone? May see if your TV is the issue.

Exactly…you're in an Islamic country. This shouldn't be a shock, same with the beer ban.

Wearing it and letting everyone know you're wearing it are two different things.
Its like people with real money don't flaunt it. (Exception: the d-bags Qataris, but I question how much is owned by the individuals and how much is really the state)

Except his point is not that he's wearing it. It's that he was told he could wear it and then was detained when he did wear it.

To your point about protesting earlier… there's honestly no point if he doesn't talk about it.

You don't have to agree with the individual issues involved, but there are countless examples throughout history where free speech has made a difference. Will one mediocre sports journalist make a big difference? Probably not - just like one individual abolitionist in 1800 made little difference. But the little parts add up over time.

The guy is no abolitionist. He is an opportunist.

Freedom of speech is important and protesting is invaluable tool, but it comes with costs. Too many protestors of the Twitterati want to protest without consequence. Getting jeered and pushback is the purpose of the protest. If everyone agrees with you and is OK with your actions, its not a protest.
