Here are things World Cup fans are restricted from doing in Qatar

...having a good time?

[NWFree]

Nobody can stand to watch it unless plastered out of their brains

[Old Yeller]

I’d have to be drunk to enjoy soccer.

[Fester Chugabrew]

The heat and filth would be punishment in its own right, even without any behavior modifications.

I lived and worked in Oman. I did this by choice. I was paid well. Prior to moving to Oman I knew their rules. It is their nation and their rules. If you do not like it do not go there.

Oddly as a Christian I could buy alcohol at a government store. Do not, Do not, Do not sell it to a Muslim.

I object to a Muslim trying to impose their ideology on my nation, most do not. I also object to other nations trying to impose their cultural norms on Muslim nations.

But that was then. In Qatar, regular fans won't have access to alcohol at matches. Only spectators in the stadiums' high-end luxury suites will have easy access to booze.

Wow.

“Regular fans” = peasants.

Recriminations range from a fine or six months' imprisonment ...

"Recriminations" does not mean "criminal penalties."

If a pregnant fan goes to Qatar for the World Cup, they should be prepared to show a marriage certificate if they need prenatal care there, the State Department said.

I think the State Department means that she should be prepared to show a marriage certificate if she needs prenatal care in Qatar. Or, I suppose, if she needs labor and delivery and post-natal care.

[Political Junkie Too]

Why don't they just acknowledge the real elephant in the room -- they banned Budweiser beer at the last minute in retaliation for the American rainbow flag uniforms.

I’ve spent significant time in Doha. Always felt safe there. The no alcohol was never a problem for me as I rarely drink it. The Yodeling for prayers was annoying but overall, everyone was very nice.

[Billthedrill]

Huh - no booze, no bells, no buggery. Perhaps they’ll still have Drag Queen Story Hour...

[cowboyusa]

Watching a sport.🤣🤣

[SecondAmendment]

The real question is why would an organization run by sodomophelliacs choose a Muslim country to host the WC in the first place ?

Methinks this was a politically motivated move by the leftist FIFA to agitate for the global acceptance of homosexuality, i.e FIFA wants a foreign player or fans to get arrested and brutally punished to further their cause.

Dress codes in many public areas require that "both men and women cover shoulders, chests, stomachs, and knees, and that tight leggings be covered by a long shirt or dress," the State Department said.

I guess the players will wear blue jeans.

[2nd Amendment]

Let’s face it there are a few things I like about Muslim countries. Banning faggotry and drunkenness is one of them

[jmacusa]

Boy, these Muzzies are a fun bunch, ain’t they?
