Right. Do I really need to explain the difference between causing something and enabling something? FIFA gets away with all of this b/c of how much money they make. As long as FIFA continues to make an absurd amounts of money, the atrocities and corruption continue. Simple as that.
If you knew a local business was polluting the local water supply killing millions, would you keep going there to give them your business? You know where your money is going. You know what's going on.

Yeah that's not what I said at all or even implied.

I can't tell if this is a really poor strawman or if you genuinely have a mental disorder

It's that worldwide love for the game and celebrations that will ensure those atrocities and corruption continue. In the end nobody really cares. It's bleak, sure. But hey, happy times right?

It isn't woke to give America credit for anything positive it's done or has. It detracts from the victim complex

I'm blaming FIFA for the continuation of human rights abuses. No fans. I'm blaming fans for enabling FIFA b/c they know exactly where the money they give to FIFA goes. If fans actually cared, nobody would have gone to Qatar. If fans actually cared, 2022 wouldn't have been the most watch World Cup ever. If fans actually cared, they wouldn't be happy spectating a sport in a stadium constructed with SLAVE LABOR. Do you really not have a problem with that as a fan? You just blame FIFA for everything and b/c you're watching the sport there's no blood on your hands? That's a very convenient way of looking at things.
The exact same mentality of companies, individuals, and countries that did business with Nazi Germany. Same exact mentality of companies, individuals, and countries continuing to do business with Russia. They're not the ones actively committing those atrocities so who cares? It's somebody else. You're just giving them money. Sure that money goes directly into committing those atrocities, but you're a good person. Sure...
As long as people keep giving money to FIFA, continue watching the World Cup, nothing will change. You can try and keep slapping FIFA on the wrist. See how far that gets you
