Blatter has admitted that it was “a mistake” to choose Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup . . .

Which begs an answer to the question as to why they can't reschedule something eight years away to December or January when the weather is likely to be cooler.

Yeah, I understand that Qatar has already been awarded the games and put a ton of money into the investment, but is three to five months or so later to get them out of the worst of the summer really going to hurt anything that much?

Sounds like it will be ultimately moved to winter.

But that will be too late for the workers who’ve already died.

Imagine American Football was as popular in the rest of the world as it is here, with many other countries having domestic leagues as popular as the NFL and with schedules running at the same time of year as the NFL.

Then imagine someone says - let's have a world championship American Football tournament and play it in November and December....

Because the EPL, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, and the MLS would not allow that to happen.
