Tell you what - why don't we boycott it? And make it known to the Not606 community and further afield. It's got plenty of time for the action to spread. And just imagine what might happen if it really takes hold?
That depends on whether actions really do speak louder than words. It's no problem for me. I could boycott world cup football dead easily. It would be harder for you people. But one of you said it. Time to see whether 44 people dying under known very bad working conditions is worth the entertainment of others. I don't think so.
Not 44 people TSS, it’s actually over 1,400 migrant workers who have given their lives in squalid, unsafe, slave-labour conditions. It’s nothing short of the greatest-ever disaster in the history of world sport.
Well there you go, more reason. I know that it's probably wrong to value one life as less than a thousand lives, but it's human nature. I really think we should boycott the thing.
Yeah. If that gives it acceptable validity. But remember if you boycott the tournament, you are boycotting the sponsors involvement in that tournament. They would remember that.
The welfare of the workers should have been scrutinised from the beginning. Everyone knows it was going on.
According to my calculator, 44 games x 90 minutes equals 3960 deaths, which makes it even more horrendous. P.s. Did all you mods go to the same school?
Yes, here’s a piece which backs up those figures: https://observatoryihr.org/news_ite...eaths-before-the-start-of-the-2022-world-cup/ My earlier total of 1400 was from an older piece btw!
How do 4000 people die while building stadiums. I remember a couple fell from great heights, and there was no safety stuff to stop that. But 4000? WTF
I drink Pepsi and will leave a huge balance on my Mastercard and then refuse to pay it if that helps?
