Like we knew Russia was bad, and in Brazil there were other huge problems, but Qatar might be the worst location on earth to host international attention outside like the DMZ between North and South Korea or the Gaza Strip.
I don't think Qatar could possibly be ready for when their cops beat a Chinese and Canadian man to death for holding hands in the street going to a match...
There's going to be a murder by Qatar cops about something most of the the world considers a minor offense like drunk in public. Yeah I'd be fine with Drunk in public guy getting escorted into a paddy wagon and paying a fine when he wakes up next morning.
Qatar will probably beat that man to death on the street and someone's gonna catch video of it and cause international incident with random German citizen being killed by Qatar cops over nothing.

Men hold hands all the time in public in Qatar. Literally all the time. Holding hands is allowed more for same sex than opposite sex people.
