Good for them. They don’t have to worry about their kids being exposed to freaks during Drag Queen Story Hour.

You may very well be correct on that one.

Who can seriously say they are surprised. Islam is the religion of universal corruption.

ALL of this because western culture chose to push gay agenda on a sovereign muslim country. Without the rainbow armbands and flags, there would not be a beer ban and "investigative" reports into "exploited workers and corruption".

Somewhere in there it should have been about the players that worked hard, for years, to qualify for the competition.

A contrarian view is that the gay lobby has overstated the facts because it’s really all about them, but they want to make it sound like Qatar is a terrible place. These gulf states have built up impressive little countries out of nothing and like to sponsor big sporting events (more regularly golf as one example). I read some place that the “thousands” of dead workers, for example, is a conflation of everyone from foreign countries who happened to die in Qatar (a very busy place) and the actual number of dead construction workers is something like three on the job and twenty-nine who died not working on the stadiums (but of natural causes or in traffic accidents etc).

As to corruption, now there’s a surprise, FIFA (or the IOC etc) and various governments doing deals behind closed doors. Let’s be honest about this, if Trump made some deals that would be MAGA, if some Arab emir makes a deal, that’s corruption. Some of this stuff is just word play. I get the feeling this is a big facade for the gay lobby trying to shame Muslim countries because of their strict interpretations of their particular sacred texts, whether you or I agree with those texts or not, we have recently stopped doing exactly the same thing based on Biblical texts. So who is really the bad guy in all this?

That is ALL this is about. Pushing an agenda on country that is supposedly sovereign with their own culture. At one time we were told we were to respect them and not force western culture on them, but now apparently thats not the case for liberals.

It's a sad day when the West is leading the race to become the Whore of Babylon.

The decadence of the West is truly sickening these days.

Then the world has basic Muslim which doctrine denies the Deity of Jesus Christ; by definition: antichrist.

THE Antichrist (never called that in the Bible, but colloquially), Satan's anti-messiah, the man of sin, the Man of Lawlessness cannot be far away from his debut.

Keep praying and looking up!

Luke 21:34-36

Soccer fans don’t care much about all that other stuff. They are angry because Qatar banned beer at the last minute.

“Islam is the religion of universal corruption.”

Never mind the long and glorious history of “universal corruption,” etc. via Catholicism.

Nope.
Nothing to see here.
But people wearing blinders living in a world without mirrors to look into to self-reflect.

Gays don’t care much for soccer,though male ones do enjoy playing with balls. Their sport is throat hockey.

For those who care. USMNT is playing Wales as their first game.

Kickoff is 2pm Eastern Time (EST), 1pm Central Time (CST) and 11am Pacific Time (PST).

The US team is the favorite in this matchup.
