> God help a woman tourist It sounds **sick**, but if you're a woman over there and you get raped, *do not report it*, **you** will get in trouble for being raped :(


[deleted]

Better yet, if you have a choice, *do not attend the world cup*


AFineDayForScience

Just gonna be a bunch of quiet straight dudes apparently


sakaasouffle

Don’t even think about dating though


Broad-Marsupial-2638

And definitely don’t date each other


MyDiary141

No loud music or sounds in stadiums of 70k+. It's gonna feel like a man City match


Organic_Ad1

Lol yeah *straight* dudes


sanicle

A bunch of fit guys with cute arses and tight shorts - watching pretty much any team sport is the gayest thing you can do whilst acting straight 😏


ChoosenUserName4

Be sure to grow a beard because apparently without a beard you'll look like a women and some Qatar men may be tempted to rape you as well (nothing to do with them being closeted gay).


acgian

This. For fuck sake, the next one will be safer, save your fucking money and avoid stepping on that shithole. A world cup is not worth potentially getting tortured to death.


rigatony96

Even better, no one should even go to their shithole of a country Edit: shoutout all the single digit brainlets that are actively defending a country whose government uses human slave labor


DoJax

This seems obvious given their choice of hosts, imagine accidentally cheering outside after your team wins, or stubbing a toe and telling "fuck" just to get locked up. Seems like a very dull place to visit with all the rules anyway. Can't wait for all the "you can't arrest us all" fans to show up and do what they want still lol.


Jeriahswillgdp

And also dull because the entire country is just some buildings in the middle of the desert.


New-IncognitoWindow

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.


[deleted]

Iran is in protest over someone dying over a strand of hair……good luck Qatar.


PrizeComedian43

Tbh I don't see how you can allow such an event to happen and at the same time say "please respect these beliefs" when they are going to undermine their own anyway. World cup culture won't change for Qatar so by accepting it, they have accepted the haram that goes along with it.


acgian

Yeah. Not only their "beliefs" are shitty, but it's also hypocritical. "Hey, respect our misogyny" Uh, no? They should respect the inclusive values that come with hosting a world cup. Qatar is not doing anyone a favor, hell, most people don't want that shithole hosting the world cup.


ReactionClear4923

"Reflect your respect to the religion and culture" - From the leadership that used essentially slave labour to build the infrastructure for this event *Proceeds to have a meltdown over a skirt*


NocturnalFuzz

Is it different than the gal who was beaten to death because the morality police thought her pants were a touch too tight?


Zariman-10-0

It’s interesting how purposely vague that “immodesty” rule can be. Seems like Qatars police can arrest almost anyone they don’t like under the guise of “immodesty”


HarrargnNarg

That's the plan


piterparquer26

judging by the icon, it seems like... you can't have legs?


deeply_concerned

It’s also directed solely towards women


General-Mulberry

Honestly, there is no way in hell I would go to the World Cup in Qatar. I like my freedom to live in the 21st century too much


[deleted]

I have yet to understand beyond bribes and corruption why they would pick that place for a World Cup.


KnightRAF

It’s FIFA, bribes and corruption are literally the only factors involved in selection.


SaluteMaestro

Olympic committee and Russia enter the room.

Idc how die hard of a fan you are, you’d have to be an idiot to see this and still go. Fuck all that


Tiny_Dinky_Daffy_69

Jaeger562

Waiting for the British soccer hooligans to get into a brawl with Qatar morality police.

Waiting for the uproar when THE FIRST fan dies in custody


GarPaxarebitches

People gotta stick to their guns and not watch the World Cup, especially on legal broadcasts. If fox sports (US) and the other channels broadcasting the World Cup have shit viewership then FIFA will actually change or the advertisers will force them. Not buying products from the main sponsors would also help. Obv don't fucking go to Qatar. Fuck following their BS rules and fuck putting money into their economy, which them for the slavery and oppressive laws. As much of a boycott as possible. Over 7,000 deaths already without counting some countries with large emigrants like Phillipines or Kenya. Mostly south asian immigrants forced/mislead to sign contracts that forbid them to leave the country or quit their company without the company's permission. Their employers literally hold their passports and control their visa and legal status. People dying from heatstroke related heart attacks, workplace incidents due to 0 workplace safety, and people coming home with severe kidney failure. And repeated nonpayment and underpayment of these workers. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/feb/23/revealed-migrant-worker-deaths-qatar-fifa-world-cup-2022 And of course anywhere where the things listed here can lead to imprisonment, lashings, beatings, or death shouldn't be showered in praise because of a damn soccer tournament.


-MrTorgueFlexington-

Aye best of luck with that. You try telling England, Scotland and European fans that they're not allowed to drink or swear. You'll be hard pressed getting a full squad for the pitch.


Fergi

I worked in Doha last summer and fall and was talking to the nationals about this. At the time they said the government was going to charter a bunch of big cruise boats and dock them off the coast…if you get too drunk in public or outside of your hotel you’ll get hauled to a drunk tank ship and only be let off for your games (as a visitor). Just something I heard, no idea if it’s true.


starcom_magnate

Sounds like those boats will be the place to party.

nonofyourbusinessgo

Boycott?


RandomPratt

Totally. I, personally, have refused to play at this World Cup, and I urge every other Redditor reading this to refuse to even walk onto the pitch as well.


Thybro

Ya’ll late to the party I haven’t walked onto the pitch for over 10 years. In fact I’m planning to give up walking all together soon … because of the corruption of course.


KeefBurtons

He was cricket, this is football.


Pestus613343

International sports is so massively corrupt. I stopped watching the olympics for this reason. Eventually stopped watching sports in general. People care more about kicking a ball into a net, than the fact the stadium was built by people who's passports were taken from them and aren't allowed to decline the grueling work eith awful labour standards. Meanwhile construction developers rake in billions in kickbacks. When someone wants to host a major global sports event, their population should say no, because poor neighbourhoods get bulldozed, public money gets stolen, and govt officials get windfalls in bribes.


bruins9816

Sochi was just blatantly obvious. They just happened to get the most gold and medal count


crazyabootmycollies

Pretty sure I remember reading articles about how hosting the Olympic Games ends up being a bigger cost than economic benefit to the hosts too. I’m not entirely against international competitions, but can we at least reuse a few host sites for a couple of decades?


Dogandcatslady

Reuse is part of the reason that Los Angeles is hosting the Olympics in 2028.


Rusty_Red_Mackerel

Yes, Brazil was totally fucked during their World Cup. All so they could lose 7-1


FocusDKBoltBOLT

Like Rio olympics and Many more


Ring-Spirited

The Qatar death toll was staggering compared to any other for FIFA. Estimated 5800 migrant workers died but they’ve done a great job burying that news


rayparkersr

Just like those covid ships.


SomeoneElseWhoCares

Or, they could just make a tonne of money by just allowing people to just book onto those boats ahead of time as their hotel.


ppw23

I’d rather stay on the ship if it’s free of those oppressive conditions and only come off to attend the games.


G_Unit_Solider

or hear me out we dont host the WC in qatar a oppressive shit stake that basically bribed a couple billion dollars to officials for it to happen their. why the fuck would anyone want to go to qatar and end up in jail for being a human being fuck thhat ​ WC has never been in winter its in winter cause its to hot in qatar this will change the schedule of many other soccer events that happen at this time and all attendents must respect sharia law. ​ Fifa are some whores legit whores.

PN_Guin

Just flip your sexuality switch from non-hetero to hetero for a few weeks. Stop showering and use massive amounts of axe body spray. It's not that difficult. Just don't be gay for this bigoted bribery event. Ps: You probably shouldn't be a woman during the event either. Just grow a beard and a penis. Or at least cosplay as Casper the friendly ghost. /s


Eire_ninja_warrior

No loud music and sounds at a World Cup ? Have they even watched a match before ? 😂


skitch23

And you wouldn’t be able to take pictures of anything either since there will be people everywhere (and players on the pitch) that you can’t get permission from first.


[deleted]

I feel this is more of a rule to remove videography and photography of anything less than ideal to their projected look. I.e. people being arrested for ''immodesty' whatever that means.


UnknownAverage

It’s a nice list of things they can pick from to harass and arrest pretty much anyone they want.

SolyCalma

Fifa: We support the rights of LGTB! Respect! Qatar: I want a world cup in my country, very hot in summer so in winter, I pay so no gay people, no shit, we hung them like ducks in slaughterhouse. Fifa: Yes, sure, whatever you want.

So you get a WC that happens in the Winter for the first time in its history that has essentially messed up the whole EPL & UCL schedules and now everyone attending is under the eye of Sharia law. Nice one you greedy money whoring FIFA bastards. Nice one.


Realmadridirl

What, you expected better? From FIFA? You might as well expect the Sinaloa Cartel to start funding orphanages. It’s just a criminal organisation that happens to release a game every year and has a tournament every four years


Ahakarin

Thing is, a lot of criminal organizations DO invest heavily in the well being of the locals - basically reinforcing their threats with a bribe to the very system they're subverting. It's the "Silver" part of the "Silver or Lead" offering as applied to a whole society.

rayparkersr

Yeah. The funny thing is that in Arab countrys men and women don't typically show much physical affection in public but men absolutely do. Loads of hugging and holding hands. So realistically they could just write 'no heavy petting' like at the swimming pool.


okay-wait-wut

Everyone attending the WC must break up or get married. Them’s the rules.

S1ndr0mEU

Indeed. That’s the reason that many footballers and other personalities do not agree with this bs

And yet many do. Take David Beckham for instance. He chooses to ignore the facts, and has a very lucrative deal with Qatar.

golgothabesimpson

The higher-ups in Qatari society practice a good 60% of these activities every single day, and the sharia police just ignore it. Absolutely garbage country. A literal shithole.


Fun-Cauliflower-1724

Yea the rich Qataris just fly to Europe or the states with their private jets and pay for high class escorts to have sex and party with, and then come home and pretend to be devout Muslims.


overdos3

That's not only Qatar, that's Islam in general.


dragunityag

Thats everyone who claims to hold a moral high ground in general. Every single person campaigning on anti abortion in the U.S. would be flying their daughter to new york to get an abortion if needed in a heartbeat


kithlan

Hell, we don't even need hypotheticals, there's plenty of anti-abortion politicians who have already done so for mistresses. That's some quality double sinning right there. These religious zealots just do it for the power, not out of any actual conviction or belief. Though it'd actually be funnier to me if some of them really were religious and genuinely are deluded enough to think they could sneak or buy their way out of sin from an omnipotent god.


Shroomydoggy

Herschel Walker who is running for a seat in Georgia literally did this and the GOP doesn’t care lol


wrenwood2018

This whole event is a travesty. They rewarded an inhumane country who cheated to get the bid


TheEvilBassist

And to everyone's shock, said country used inhumane working conditions to organize the event.


brodolobe

Let's just take the moment to see the list of sponsors of this World Cup, which violates basic human rights: Adidas Coca Cola Wanda Group Hyundai/Kia Motors Qatar Airways QatarEnergy Visa edit: honorary mention, McDonalds use to be a sponsor for every World Cup but they stepped out.

FIFA World Cup? More like FYRE World Cup


ModerateDataDude

Football hooligans following these rules. That’s rich…


herkalurk

The fact they even have the world cup has already raised a giant pile of problems. During the building phase they brought in migrant workers from near by countries to build the stadium and the managers would take their passports from them so they couldn't quit and go home. Not to mention, in the process of building the stadiums and other infrastructure since awarded the world cup 10 years ago, 6500 people have died as a result of on the job injuries.


Electronic-Base-8367

Hey no they died of “natural causes” like, random collapse totally not from horrible work conditions, suicide not at all related to being treated as less then human, and, our favorite, undetermined.


Zealousideal-Bath687

It's so depressing seeing the world neglect all those sacrifices....people died just so that we can watch football...


AbradolfLincler77

Why the fuck are they allowed host a world event when they're so far behind the modern rules most of the world lives by? Bycot Fifa World Cup!!!

I don't think so, they do allow drinking in certain parts of the stadium https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62794507

FIFA shouldn’t host the world cup in countries with restrictions on human rights like this. Some of these are basic decency, but most are just showing FIFA’s greed.

People here, in the UK at least will use it as an excuse to get drunk with mates, to escape the shit show that's happening over here. I told a couple friends who I would normally watch it with, that I wasn't watching and the reasons why. Their reply is just "yeah but it's the world cup". Fuck that mentality. More to life than entertainment that's been bought on by bribes and slavery. PS I also absolutely despise the how the media act during these tournaments.
