I think this is the first world cup im not even the slightest bit of interested in watching. Teams should have boycotted Qatar being host and just not gone there.

100% agree. Im not even tempted to watch this year’s World Cup. It was corruptly assigned, Qatar essentially legalized slavery to build stadiums and hotels, thousands died due to Qataris treating the people building World Cup projects as sub-human, they have a horrible human rights record for LGBT rights, they have banned Jews from praying and and banned stadiums from selling kosher food, the list goes on and on. Watching this tournament legally or illegally sends the message that people want entertainment above human rights and a non-corrupt FIFA.

As someone who never watches the world cup, I'm tempted to stream replays of every other world cup just so that this can become the exception that I won't watch.
