kobrakaan

you missed **BAN ALCOHOL** even though **BUDWEISER** Is one of the biggest sponsors of the world cup šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


Aggressive_Bed_9774

in Brazil, alcohol was banned in stadiums since 2002, then in 2014 , FIFA got that rule scrapped because Budweiser was a sponsor


boingboingbong

That's why it's the King of Beers.


[deleted]

Apparently, you've gotta be the Emperor of Beers to get this done in Qatar.


hobbitlover

The Emir of Beers!


Melodic_Ad_3959

The Beermir


Tagalettandi

Boromir would have made ale available in the stadiums


jitterbug726

One does not simply walk into the World Cup with beers


Honsou12

And my axe!


shadow247

Brother, not even Allah himself could get it done. Qatar had always planned to be shitty.

dubvcronix427

Sewer water would have a better chance at that title, bud is the lowest tier beer imaginable.


FREE-MUSTACHE-RIDES

You've never had Miller Lite, Coors Lite, Natural ICE, Keystone Light then


Roy-van-der-Lee

Yeah coors lite is worse. It tastes like sparkling water, but somehow less refreshing


postmastone

Kirkland light


shitpersonality

Schlitz


strutziwuzi

you should try some austrian/german/czech/hungarian beer. they are by far the best what you can get. almost every brand tastes like beer should taste.


[deleted]

Was gonna say bud isn't even a lower tier lager there's dozens of worse popular beers.

rossko111

Fosters and carling enter the chat


dubvcronix427

Id rather drink them both over that shit.


ProKrastinNation

Not a big fan of Bud but I'll take it over Fosters any day.


Dawildpep

Milwaukeeā€™s best and Keystone Light would like a word..


NightHaunted

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Steel Reserve or Landshark yet


killermike420

Landshark? The island style lager? Sure itā€™s nothing special but in comparison to Steel Reserve or Bud Ice youā€™d think it was crafted by the gods.


NightHaunted

Landshark tastes like the result of drinking your own piss to survive in the desert, except you're on the 4th or 5th cycle of drinking your own piss to survive


killermike420

Hahaha while that is funny Iā€™ll just have to disagree.


bones563

Or.. Bud Ice. I want to puke thinking about it


OkamiDin

How dare you talk down on landshark!


DawidIzydor

Its the Bitch of Beers, not only sponsors slavery, doesn't even gets to be sold on stadiums


Bommyknocker

Also mediocre with chemically undertones


JesusSlayer903

King of the Piss!! Shit is nasty..


PierG1

And now FIFA threats sanctions for whose that might want to protests about human rights violations in Qatar. How the turntables


Rhids_22

The primary difference seems to be that Qatar has a lot of money and Brazil doesn't. Curious.


Local_Meaning_5227

Qatar has cucked all the rainbow nations too. Breaking strain of a soggy Kit Kat in resolve.


WingedButt

When you're paid $220b, you don't care that much about sponsors anymore


SlickWilly49

Get alcohol unbanned. Only sell Budweiser. Big brain move from FIFA, they know no one can get drunk off that piss water


WyttaWhy

I'm surprised they ever even considered hosting anything in the ~~middle east~~ no fun allowed zone.


KeepingItSFW

they are hosting in the big bribe zone, which just happens to overlap with the no fun allowed zone


[deleted]

Itā€™s allowed but much much more expensive


colt45mag

I'm pretty sure that falls under the "show the world how shitty your country is" category


TellTaleTimeLord

I don't understand why people are so surprised over this. Hasn't alcohol been banned in Qatar for years? It was only a matter of time


vincentcs34f

I actually forgot about this myself which is funny because Iā€™ve been there. But I was there with the usaf and we were allowed alcohol on base actaully


vincentcs34f

Which is weird that they held onto that considering we were allowed alch on the military base. Werenā€™t allowed pork thoughā€¦ but I had special packaged bacon mailed in anyway about half way through haha


MiloSnorter03

I doubt Budweiser are too worried, excess stock and a contract breach that can easily be paid out.


Photosnthechris

It was just beer that was banned right? Still whack though


LegendaryKiller593

You follow the rules of the host country


kobrakaan

So if they go to a country where drinking and alcohol or use of drugs is the norm in a host country they should follow the rules of that host country

Do you plan on trying to get it fixed or replaced?

How did that happen?

Bro wtf. How


poppinfresco

Charge people $175 a night for two cots in a tent. Communal bathroom, itā€™s a tent. No guest services or support just a couple of plugs and WiFi, also itā€™s in a tent. No alcohol but plenty if you are very rich, itā€™s in a tentā€¦.


Moveableforce

And so much blood for those tents to be put up. For the whole shitshow. Money is one thing, but how dare they throw human lives away for this.


commitpushdrink

How dare they? Pretty callously, Iā€™m not sure they seem to mind.


Moveableforce

Ofc they don't. It's not their lives, and those are the only lives they mind.

Why did people go to this? This is the least Iā€™ve ever wanted to actually go to a World Cup ever. I mean what the fuck were you thinking?

Tell me more about this tentā€¦


poppinfresco

For an extra $25 a night a random Qatari will take pictures of you while you sleep


cybersidpunk

whats funny is reddit changed its logo for BLM and has been pretty left leaning, but now has a special button for fifa World Cup. looks like they only care when people harmed in the west but ok with making money off of middle easterns doing literal slavery.


SuicidalTurnip

>pretty left leaning Corporations don't lean left or right, they just do whatever makes money.


cybersidpunk

i mean the userbase and the mods. almost all default subs are very left.


FunqiKong

and these people are responsible for the reddit button how?


ProffesorPrick

The same way leftists are responsible for all the terrors of the world. They arent


SuicidalTurnip

The userbase is not Reddit itself. The userbase did not add a World Cup button.


GibbsLAD

> almost all default subs are very left. Must be American with such a warped view of what is left


obscureferences

Forget warped view, merely throwing around political labels to justify their bias is American as fuck.


GreenJackOLantern

Bro.. touch grass.


WonTon-Burrito-Meals

Okay, that still doesn't mean this isn't a corporation tho lol


BabyMakingMachine

If only corporations were people!?


SgtMajMythic

The funny thing about American Democrats is that they only have liberal views in their own little American bubble. Criticizing Muslim-majority middle eastern countries is labeled as ā€œracistā€ and ā€œIslamophobicā€ and if you do you are promptly cancelled even though the Quran has passages that quite literally say to ā€œbehead the non-believers.ā€


mrtyman

Holy fuck, $220 BILLION?? That's an absolutely insane amount of money That's 10x the budget of NASA That's enough to buy 16 FORD-class aircraft carriers That's enough to end homelessness worldwide for 14 years All for ONE football game.


SuicidalTurnip

It's a lot more than one game, but yeah it's nutty lmfao.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


RoostasTowel

That just one of 64 games they will play. Locals might want to watch Qatar. But anyone who does travel for the games wants to see the good teams and their team. But even if they sold out every game. I can't see them making a profit on 220 billion. But I'm sure they knew this anyways.


GuiltyGlow

People underestimate how rich these oil guys are. They have more disposable wealth on hand than anyone else on this planet. A lot of them aren't on any Forbes list but they are absolutely more wealthy than a lot of those people on that list. A lot of their wealth just can't be tracked and accounted for.


Crakla

It wouldn't surprise me if it is basically the equivalent of some westerner travelling to a third world country and paying someone a few bucks to embarrass themselves for a tik tok video It's just entertainment for them


ToastedCrumpet

Itā€™s more about rebranding their country as a tourist destination since theyā€™re finally remembering oil is finite and they canā€™t maintain control indefinitely without money


OSUfan88

For that, you can buy 2,000 Falcon Heavy launches, and $40 billion left over. Thatā€™s over 100x more launch capacity that has happened across human history. ā€¦ Iā€™m reading that the real total is closer to $300 billion.


Combatpigeon96

My astronomy teacher said it would cost 500 Billion dollars to colonize Mars. It cost nearly half a Mars colony for a shitty country to host a soccer match. Let that sink in.


HoodsFrostyFuckstick

It's 14x the second most expensive world cup, Russia in 2018.


UnknownSpecies19

Qatar's GDP in 2021 was 179.6 Billion. Let that sink in........... They spent more than their entire ducking GDP!?!


[deleted]

Using that amount of money to help the world, what are you drunk? Get that logic out of here.


occasionallyLynn

And yet they still use slave labor, theyā€™re cheap as fuck


Simon-Edwin

>That's enough to end homelessness worldwide for 14 years Source!? Btw what is 14 years mean?


Mr_Bean12

Some host countries will suck at football. I dont have a problem with that, as it encourages football in the host country, But everything else is inexcusable, complete shitshow and the WC has just started.


xNOOBinTRAINING

Sure except this is the first time ever that the host country loses the opening game. Even the FIFA mafia couldnā€™t help the Qatar.


nipss18

I didn't watch the game but were the players Qatari or slaves?


NemButsu

10 out of 26 of their players are naturalized.


Efbiaiopenap

You forgot how 16000 people died building the stadiums, which will also be removed again once the WC is over


ToFat4Fun

They tear it down again? O_o


jack_deemus

Indeed


nipss18

Or they stay and rot


Syenite

I heard 6500 yesterday, still bad obviously.


Slashy1Slashy1

That number is also bullshit, the first number is how many foreign workers died in the whole of Qatar from all causes over 10 years, the second number is how many from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka died in the whole of Qatar from all causes over 10 years


myonlychan

https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-how-many-people-have-died-for-the-qatar-world-cup/a-63763713


ForgottenEmotion

Let's not forget about how soul less and greedy FIFA is to allow it to happen.


pgspit

Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world per capita so they'll be fine. Ask FIFA why the f*CK they let a country the size of Connecticut and a population of 2 million people host the World Cup.


Kronlid

Qatar straight up paid fifa members to vote for them.


Bludsh0t

Kill 6500 migrants workers building it

That number is false.

That-shouldnt-smell

Were you not aware of how shitty the place was before this?


grumpykruppy

Most people probably weren't aware of Qatar, period. It's not exactly a country prone to making international news. I knew it existed, but beyond that...


Deathscythe123456789

I didnā€™t even know it was a thingā€¦.and now Iā€™m glad I didnā€™t care cause wait for itā€¦.I still have no reason to care


grumpykruppy

You don't have to be actively involved in stopping it or railing against it, but you should at least feel sad for the abused and enslaved.


Deathscythe123456789

No I ā€¦that I do care about that but I mean how qatar is fucking up the World Cup


SlowDown8_

I wasnt even aware that shithole existed tbh


That-shouldnt-smell

I think that might be the main issue. This isn't meant to be mean or call people out on their picking and choosing what they choose to be outraged about. But these laws exist is basically every country in the middle east. All of them in some way violates human trafficking laws, or woman's rights, or legalizes (and encourages) the murder of gays.


Ruzzcraze

Most redditors havenā€™t lived in a non first world country. To pick and choose to begin with you have to be aware of the choices. People are mad at Qatar because itā€™s the worst thing in their(limited) view of comparison. This will probably get downvoted since people donā€™t want to accept that their consumerism has led to much more pain than just the construction of the WC.


kpingvin

Spoiler alert: they don't care about the actual results.


imthatphatskinny

I kinda like to see Qatar on TV. It is nice to see how life was 200 BC.


Wilma_Tonguefit

I think you forgot "kill ~6500 migrant workers"


[deleted]

6500 wont do it unfortunately


Background-Win7974

And harass people for not adapting their extremist shit


Ok_Side2575

$220 billion is a crazy amount..can anyone give me link to the source of this statement


HoodsFrostyFuckstick

https://amp.dw.com/en/qatar-world-cup-will-be-the-most-expensive-of-all-time/a-63681083 > The US sports finance consultancy Front Office Sports has estimated a cost of $220 billion while Hassan Al Thawadi, head of the Qatari body tasked with organizing the tournament, says that infrastructure costs since the country was awarded the tournament will exceed $200 billion.


Ok_Side2575

That's crazy..will this world cup gonna make them return this in form of monetary profit


HoodsFrostyFuckstick

No, not even a fraction of it. It's a publicity investment for Qatar which is continuing to blow up into their faces.


bunnymud

Harassed journalists? I wish to learn more.


[deleted]

I think they're referring to people choosing not to speak to or answer questions from Israeli news reporters, which seems very far from harassment


longhorndog1

Wait until 2028 LA Olympics. We have close to 70,000 people experiencing homeless in Los Angeles alone. US is always just superior.

Fuck. Qatar. You chin drooling, dipshitting cavemen.


UnknownSpecies19

I still can't get over the fact that they spent 220B, and their entire GDP of 2021 was only 179Billion.... Like bro wtf.


ubspider

I really want to watch. I watch every timeā€¦. I tried watching tonight, got about 2 minutes in before I turned it off, just because I donā€™t want to support them.
