Your reminder that over 1500 slaves migrant workers died building the stadium. Fuck the Qatar World Cup and Fifa.

Comparing the USA to Qatar is one hell of a stretch. Let me know when the government starts murdering LGBTQ+ individuals for simply existing. (Yea I realize half the country is in favor of it, but it's not happening yet.)

You can see my post history and that I'm no fan of the USA, but actively supporting an event hosted by a country that murdered 1500 people just building the damn stadium?

Everywhere has issues but you shouldn’t be criticized for wanting to watch a sport you like. Don’t know why people are dragging you for this when we are all guilty of buying products that are built/made in less than ideal conditions (phones, shoes, etc.)

With that being said, I have seen games on at most bars I have been to. Georgia Mac’s has had games when I have been there and I am sure any bar would accommodate (especially outside of Sunday for NFL).

Don’t let the moral authorities on the Springfield Mo subreddit tell you how to live.

Good God how is this dumbass advice upvoted?

  1. Don’t use The Pirate Bay. It’s not 2010. There are much better sites to download from.
  2. Don’t torrent shit without a VPN.
  3. Incognito mode is for hiding your porn history or bypassing the News Leader’s paywall, not hiding your IP or whatever this was supposed to be.
  4. If you are going to use a live stream site, use uBlock Origin to block all their awful ads.

Damn.

Georgia Macs is where the American Outlaws watch all US national team games. We started the chapter 12 years ago and had ups and downs with membership levels as people left town. I’m not sure how many people will watch the remainder of the games. Tough when the finals are Sunday morning at 9 am. We used to each at Skinny Skims but had a falling out with ownership. Plus they don’t serve food. BTW they also have great coverage of the NFL when it’s time to watch Chiefs games… Yeah, soccer people also watch football.

Dude is a walking top comment. He doesn't add anything positive and just regurgitates his programming by continually complaining from his iphone. The hypocrisy is hilariously sad.

Workers killed in Qatar since they were awarded the world cup in 2010: ~6500 = 541/year for 12 years straight.

Civilians killed as a result of US military action in just 5 countries since 2001: 387,072 = 18,432/year for 21 years straight.

This could be an epiphany moment, where you realize how out of touch with reality you are. Or it could show you how you've been manipulated to hold certain lives as more important than others. But, I'm gonna guess neither of those will come to pass and you'll just double down. Seems like the phrase 'You cannot reason someone out of something he or she was not reasoned into' is very relevant.

Didnt think my post would be so controversial. Do people in Springfield have nothing else to do but be on their phones and critique? All I asked was a spot to go to, not to get lectured of what’s real football, the immigrant situation in Qatar, or that chess is better.

You're cute.

I am very aware of the costs of our imperialism globally, as you could see if you went through my past posts.

The only reason Qatar doesn't match or exceed those numbers is their economy doesn't come close to ours.

Regardless of the whataboutism spewing wantonly from your asshole, it is perfectly acceptable to criticize all three things, the imperialism driving the American military, as well as a corrupt country who doesn't care about the lives of women, migrants, or minority groups in general, and a corrupt "sporting" institution with ties to money laundering and organized crime.

This could be an epiphany for you, where you realize just how big of an asshole you are, or it could show just how many assumptions you make on a daily basis. But, I'm gonna guess that isn't going to happen, and you'll be right back here attempting to make condescending remarks just to find some kind of meaning in your bleak existence.

> your condescending post.

That you took it as condescending is telling of someone who gets emotional when their point of view is challenged. Rather than make a logical argument, you chose to yell whataboutism and hurl insults. A logical thinker doesn't need to resort to fallacies, like people overcome by emotion.

Once again, extremely relevant: You cannot reason someone out of something he or she was not reasoned into.

Yea, that's pretty condescending, thinking you have to lecture me on the subject of American imperialism. This thread wasn't about American imperialism, you want to start a new one about that and I'll be 100% on board with everything you want to say about how the US Military's function hasn't been protecting the country since at least WW2.

This thread was, however, about a country hosting an event to sportswash their awful human rights record, and a corrupt organization that directly enables organized crime and dictators. The only whataboutism here are the "well the US is just as bad" posts.
