Shy Talk Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Maybe should be in the Sport section but this World Cup has been politicised like crazy, so possibly better in here. The one thing that smacks in the face is that for the first time it's being held in an openly 'intolerant' country, just as LGBTad nauseum is dominating everything. What a coincidence! If Qatar had hosted the previous world cup it's unlikely we would've heard anywhere near as much from the 'human rights' brigade as LGBT was (correctly) a minority issue then. Furthermore, construction is the deadliest industry in the UK, so they can do one on that front too if they want to argue about deaths from building stadiums: https://www.building.co.uk/news/construction-is-uks-deadliest-industry-new-figures-show/5118305.article#:~:text=Data released by the Health,2022 occurred in the sector. It's nothing new either - World Cup in South Africa: https://www.aljazeera.com/sports/2014/7/3/world-cup-workers-struggle-for-basic-rights And then you read a non-Guardian report regarding Qatar: https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20221018-shocking-6500-deaths-ahead-of-world-cup-was-anti-qatar-disinformation-expert-says/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is to be a new system of WBP (Wokery Brownie Points) with complex algorithms to determine which teams have made the most effort to politicise the sport, and put woke point-scoring above the need to play well and win matches by the old method. England have been installed as the clear favourites under this exciting new system.

BornFreeNowAgain Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 First time I noticed football becoming politicised was the Luis Suarez incidents both his handball and his incident with Evra. Maybe it has been going on longer than that and I failed to notice, but since then it has really ramped up. I kept wondering what the agenda is with the 'pushing' of women's sports until a couple of months ago when the penny dropped that it is likely the political use it can get over more of society. Obviously there is never one single reason, and others like money, blurring of genders and gender roles, the dilution of tradition and history, and bringing more and more people in to the 'use of distractions' and syphoning off of the energy it diverts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Owl Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 This tournament has barely started and I'm fed up with it already. The actual football seems to be playing second fiddle to "the message". Why the BirminghamLive masthead is getting a rainbow makeover for the World Cup Quote The BirminghamLive masthead is getting a makeover for the World Cup - as we stand alongside our LGBT friends. The masthead on our website and mobile site will feature the rainbow flag across the duration of the Qatar 2022 cup to symbolise support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Being gay is illegal in Qatar and punishable by prison sentences. For Muslims, it can even mean the death penalty. Editor Graeme Brown said he wanted to show support throughout the tournament, that started on November 20, to make it clear where we stand. He said: "Nobody should be treated how LGBT+ people are treated in Qatar. Love is love and it is jarring to me that the World Cup is taking place in a country where the authorities don't respect that. "But it is worse than that - people travelling to support England in Qatar could actually face jail for doing what comes absolutely naturally. It already troubles me that so few professional footballers in our country have come out as gay. "In a country of football-lovers, I hate to think the message we send to LGBT+ football fans in our area and beyond. So, while we will report on the matches and fallout from the tournament, I want to make it abundantly clear that we stand side by side with that community." From: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/birminghamlive-masthead-getting-rainbow-makeover-25522550 As Mrs Brown would say "that's nice". World Cup finals: Why is Qatar 2022 controversial? Quote Qatar is expecting 1.5 million football fans to visit during the World Cup finals. But the decision to host the tournament in the Gulf state has drawn widespread criticism. What are Qatar's laws on same-sex relationships? Homosexual acts are illegal in Qatar because they are considered immoral under Islamic Sharia law. Punishments include fines, prison sentences of up to seven years - and even death by stoning. Qatar's World Cup organisers say "everyone is welcome", and claim no one will be discriminated against. However, Qatar 2022 chief executive Nasser al Khater says laws on homosexuality will not change and visitors should "respect our culture". From: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61635340 That BBC article couldn't wait to get stuck in to what they felt was 'most important'. Quote Fifa wrote to the 32 World Cup teams telling them "now focus on the football". It said football should not be "dragged" into ideological or political "battles". For once, I actually agree with FIFA. I'm glad that they stopped players wearing armbands, and perhaps they should stop players 'taking the knee' (if they're still doing that) Football is a sport, and for its viewers it is just entertainment. Keep the politics away and just get on with the game for goodness sake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy Talk Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 The hypocritical pre-match lecturing about human rights etc is relentless, including a lengthy diatribe about Saudi Arabia before today's match against the Argies (we have long sold billions of pounds worth of arms to them), which didn't prevent a media love-in after the Saudis won.

Hung their star player (Ozil) out to dry a couple of years ago for daring to speak out about human rights abuses against certain ethnic groups, but now make virtue-signalling poses in photos.

Hung their star player (Ozil) out to dry a couple of years ago for daring to speak out about human rights abuses against certain ethnic groups, but now make virtue-signalling poses in photos. Karma, despite not being in the team, scored for Japan. Asano scored the winner. It was the Asano clan that was dissolved in 1701 after its Daimyo struck and wounded Lord Kira in the Shogun's palace. Forced to commit seppuku whereas Kira, despite his part in the quarrel, went unpunished. This set off a chain of events that led to the Chief Counsellor of the Asano clan, Oishi Kuranosuke, with 46 former vassals (ronin) plotting and taking revenge on Kira about 2 years later. So no doubt the spirit of Oishi and the ronin were cheering on from above when Japan won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
