They accepted bribes to give Qatar the 2022 World Cup. Current estimates have the number at 7,000 migrant workers dying to construct the stadiums needed to host it. Migrant workers who were lured there with offers of jobs with good pay and working conditions, and then had their passports taken from them so they couldn't leave the country (welcome to Qatar law), and live in crap rooms like 8-12 people per room while working outside in temperatures that *average* over 100 degrees in summer (May-Sept there). Most of the deaths from heat stroke.

Think about that. More people will die so Qatar can host the World Cup than died from 9/11.

All because of bribes causing FIFA to choose a country that had no business hosting.
