    You’ll notice a commonality between the assholes in Qatar, and the assholes here.

    Ultra conservative religion.

    In any case, it sounds like Qatar’s sportswashing worked, they got tourists.

      I’m not sure if your last sentence was an aside or in reference to this case. But I just thought I would mention in case it was the latter; Qatar is a necessary transfer airport to Australia from Europe and the UK if you are travelling with Qatar Airlines (which is often one of the cheaper fares available on the very expensive journey) or I believe if you book via Quantas, Qatar Airlines is one of their partner companies that you could end up on.

        It was in reference- didn’t know that (I read enough to get outraged, I guess.)

        It’s still awful;

      And you’ll notice a direct correlation between ultra conservative religion and extreme poverty.
