The football World Cup in Qatar is at the same time a real financial scandal, humanitarian not to say ethical disaster. That said, football in the Arab world is a religion that creates less problems than those posed by stories promoted in mosques, churches or other synagogues. No football lover has ever been murdered for his membership in any fan club. No religion can claim such a result.
But who gives a candidate country the mandate to organize such an event?
And is Qatar the real culprit?
If we try to put into perspective the scores of humanism of the countries organizing the so-called Olympic Games and the previous football world cups, Russia and China for example, it is clear that neither the IOC nor FIFA have placed in the balance of the decision elements such as respect for Human and Citizens’ Rights, democracy and the honesty of the leaders. On this last point it would be too much to ask.
As far as the IOC and FIFA are concerned, if these two federations teamed up, they would be invincible in the race for corruption. Sepp Blatter and Joao Havelange for FIFA, Juan Antonio Samaranch for the IOC will get the gold medal every time on a bank note bed.
For my part, I will vote with my feet. The TV, this universal Idiot Box, will remain switched off during the World Cup, I will not participate in the creation of advertising revenues. Once again, the course of action remains simple, I boycott this football cup as I boycotted the Beijing Olympics as well as the games or cup organized by the criminal Josef Putalin.
If, like me, you boycott this cup and you feel lonely, come and have a drink at home. Together, in front of a glass of good wine, we can remake the world, he needs it.
