Why I’m Not Boycotting the FIFA World Cup 2022
Long before the games started, the World Cup this year has already been shrouded in controversies.
Comments sections in many social media outlets have been filled with so much hate against Qataris.
Most of these comments are baseless accusations and nasty gossip.
I have many family members and friends who have lived and worked in Qatar for years. One of my aunts was there for decades and supported families back home with her earnings.
Although she never asked for it, she’s been receiving gifts and financial support now that she’s retired.
She was even able to help others get employed at her workplace.
They haven’t had any complaints about the way their employers treat them.
They aren’t forced to convert to their employers’ religion. There has never been a situation where they were subjected to torture, imprisonment, or stoning.
Now, is it paradise? Is it all rainbows and unicorns and all things nice?
No. Where can that be?
The Qataris are human beings as well. It appears as though that is forgotten.
