Why Are Journalists Getting Killed In Qatar?
The world cup in Qatar will go down as one of the most controversial tournaments in not just football but all of the sports. For casuals, it has been absolute joy; football at its best with a slew of nations making their mark by beating the big boys.
For the staunch followers of the game,however, feelings have been more mixed than one-sided. Yes, it’s been exciting to watch the GOATS take to the field in what may be their last battle on the biggest stage.
Yes, there have been heartbreaking scenes as favourites like Brazil and Portugal exited while the underdogs like Morocco clinched an unprecedented place in the semi-finals. Argentina vs Netherlands was a crunchy game that almost turned violent. And, yes, France and England produced the best end to end action we had seen in a while. All of these made the world cup exciting so why is the feeling mixed? That answer, my friends lie in the stories surrounding the games. Before the world cup, news broke of the poor treatment of migrant workers, Qatar’s stance on the LGBTQ+ community and the ban on alcohol.
