No worthy wealthy footballer cares about the world cup. Iranian sorts of players care about the world cup, and those sorts of countries will not boycott the games.

If you think it's unjust to ask for athlete to not play in a shady WC, wouldn't it also be unjust to ask someone to reject a small fortune to promote a shady WC? 
It's going to happen nevertheless, people will play in it, promote it, everyone will do their jobs and in the end the only ones responsible for the WC being bought by Qatar is FIFA not Buffon, not the journalists, not the players, referees, coaches, visiting fans or everyone else involved.

Of course it's relevant, most of the concerns were regarding the infrastructure or ability to hold an event like that.
Also I'm not defending it, I'm saying I didn't see most of the haters with their arms up in disgust when Russia got the vote, like homosexuality laws are so relaxed there or like it's not the country with the worst human rights violations or that the people jumping on Qatar have their govt do worse to other countries and they they should be consistent in their judgement. And to add to all this, I said don't just hate on Qatar because they paid, also hate the party that got paid. And then I said don't act ignorant and think no one else did it before Qatar and no one else will do it after.
Agreed

What about Barcelona, Boca Juniors and Roma having Qatar Airways, a state owned company, as their shirt sponsor? I don't think it's a coincidence they've expanded their footie sponsorship before the WC in Qatar It's not like the couple million bucks would mean much to any of those clubs, surely they're richer than Buffon. What if Juve switches Jeep with Qatar Airways and funds SMS with the extra money, will you be disappointed as well?
As long as Buffon doesn't come out with some outlandish comments about Qatar as a state and sticks to promoting footie, I don't see how it's any different to Ronaldo and Bebeto promoting WC 2014 in Brazil or Kerzhakov and Desailly promoting WC 2018 in Russia, they're just doing their job.

Actually it's way fucking worse that they were in their home country If anything, they should be better informed of the problems with that World Cup, surely they didn't miss their nation protesting and rioting in unseen numbers for a footie tournament prior to the World Cup. For me, Brazils and South Africa's WC was as idiotic as Olympics 2004 in Athens, at least Russian oligarchs and Qatar sheikhs bribing FIFA didn't mean billions of dollars down the toilet for a not-so-rich country with huge economic problems, although both still have major stink
Matter of fact is, FIFA under Blatter was rotten for decades and they are the ones responsible, I wouldn't go down the road of condemning everyone that in one way or another supported or benefited from their events.
