Boycotted the Qatar WC, will probably skip the 2034 too. FIFA have really become shameless after Infantino took over. Not sure if anything will ever be done about it though.

Same here, none of my money for that shit. But to be honest, FIFA have been shite forever. Just one example: they ran a worldcup in Argentina when it was ruled by a fascist junta that took power in a coup and tortured and killed lots of people. FIFA didn't care one bit then, why would they care now.

I'm not old enough to remember that time, but during the Blatter era they at least pretended to care. Nowadays it feels like Infantino does whatever he want without a care.

I wanted to boycott the Qatar WC, but I still watched a few of my country's game. It's hard to miss this kind of events.

Yeah, no judgement on my part. I still watched the highlights that was posted on reddit, but didn't engage beyond that.

Yeah, Scotland did me a favour by not qualifying, making it much easier to resist watching.

Presumably they had similar moral objections to the hosts of 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018... That must be it, right? 😞
