This whole debacle feels like a whataboutist's dream. There are problems all around the world. Some are normalized and accepted. Others are foreign to us and easy to object to.

Overall it feels like humanity can do better. Many have written at length on this topic.

I just want to enjoy the sports drama. Sports is mostly a diversion. A spectacle to take our minds off from other things. Please, no flames. I won't take a position on the controversies here. The whole cup is a fail if the issues around Qatar's policies distract us from our escapism.
