> You must be a troll. To deny the blatant human rights (women...? Gay...?) in places like Qatar

First, talk to any of Qatari women, rather than targeted news reports that only appear when there is an event or a milestone in the Middle East.

As for gays, you said they were human rights, we didn't and we and many other countries don't agree, very simple.

> and go "but what about?" is ridiculous.

There is no what about, the atrocities committed by western governments far outweigh whatever is happening in Qatar. Yet we don't see the US or UK get blasted because of the invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan and others every time they host a sport event. Which as I said, is a much bigger human right issue than what happening in Qatar.
