That was an amazing watch

And i'll reiterate : those prank logo's of the big sponsers supporting the human catastrophe in Qatar, MUST go viral. Sponsers must see their brand getting damaged, or is in danger off.

Cause when sponsers pressure FIFA, they will have to listen

Boycott of FIFA's World Cup in Qatar should be extended to people/organizations that do business with Gulf countries and companies that operate from there. Airlines such as Qatar Airways, Etihad, and Emirates should also be boycotted. The whole region condones and perpetuate human rights abuses. Let's not have double standards here.

I love John Oliver, but to be honest him putting the blame entirely on Blatter is incredibly short-sighted, and pretty much what bothers me about the new coverage of the recent incidents as well.

Blatter’s Top FIFA Deputy Is Said to Have Transferred Money Central to Bribery Case

Federal authorities believe that Sepp Blatter’s top lieutenant at FIFA made $10 million in bank transactions that are central elements of the bribery scandal engulfing international soccer, several law enforcement officials said Monday. The revelation puts the money trail closer to Mr. Blatter, FIFA’s president, than had been previously known.

It's okay for PSG and Barcelona to live on Qatari money apparently. We should boycott the CL final.

This incident will soon fade away and nothing will happen.

Ya, there seems to be a culture of corruption in the higher echelons of FIFA, that's not to say Blatter is innocent, as I find it very hard to believe that someone as autocratic and dominant as he has been at FIFA would have all that corruption happening under his watch, without knowing about it, condoning it, and I'm fairly sure benefiting of it himself.

Perhaps the time has come to ask the question whether we should. The economic impact would be immense and it would hurt all of us, but the human rights violations are appalling. And they happen on so many levels. It's not just the poor migrant laborer, it's also the highly skilled business man who suddenly finds himself jailed or unable to leave the country for dubious reasons.

Of course, you will definitely see the FA abandon their planned Emirates sponsorship of the FA Cup The FA don't do double standards like that.
