Ignoring the WorldCup is unrealistic. So what is a responsible, thinking fan to do when the world’s biggest sporting event is built on a rotten foundation? gdebenedetti writes
for the American team to boycott the proceedings entirely. “This has to be the insanity line,” he wrote. “This has to be the moment where we look at a corrupt sports entity, and say, ‘What the fuck are we doing? We can’t do this.’ Nothing is worth this.” No such boycott materialized and calls for fans to skip out on watching this year’s tournament have been few and far between.
Awareness, though, is not nothing, even if it feels inadequate. And some efforts to mitigate the harm done are mounting as the world starts grappling with what it’s witnessing.
Casual World Cup viewers, however, are unlikely to hear much about any such efforts. Qatar has imposed restrictions on where visiting film crews can record — no private homes, for example. And after BBC journalists were arrested and kept in prison for two nights in 2015 for reporting on migrant worker conditions in Doha and Norwegian reporters were detained after pursuing the matter there last year, it’s not yet clear how aggressive the foreign press will, or can, be.
