Soccer fans reacted with a mix of anger and resignation to Qatar's ban on alcohol inside World Cup stadiums. Alcohol is prohibited inside stadiums during the 2022 World Cup, FIFA announced Friday. The last-minute U-turn came just two days before the tournament is set to begin. The World Cup is the first to be held in a conservative Muslim country with strict controls on alcohol, the consumption of which is banned in public, and the reversal has raised questions among some supporters about the host country's ability to deliver on promises to fans. Some fans have already made their way over to Qatar to cheer on the US in its first World Cup appearance since the 2014 tournament in Brazil. However, many were furious to hear the news of the ban Friday.
The full article says it's pretty sucky. Juss' sayin':
FIFA better make a note to themselves--NEVER to hold another World Cup Championship in a Muslim country unless they're willing to write-off most of the non-Muslim spectators.
ReplyDeleteSoccer fans should be protesting that Budweiser is even considered beer.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say it they're banning beer, why can't they sell budweiser.
DeleteBan Budweiser at a soccer game? Might as well ban self appendectomies as long as we're talking about things that will never happen to me.
ReplyDelete- Qatar pay millions in bribes to get the world cup.
ReplyDelete- Qatar lied to the public about alcohol use.
- Qatar lied to Budweiser about alcohol use.
- Qatar hired and flew hundreds of people to write 'good reviews' and to spy on and report people who would say bad things. They just cancelled their daily allowance for expenses.
- Qatar is nothing but a bunch of crooks.
- Qatar are like democrats.
