A lot has already gone wrong with the football world cup in Qatar so far—from beer to the queer. Though Qatar agreed to allow sale of beer and the display of queer support signs in stadiums when it was awarded the event, it, unsurprisingly, walked back on these claims at the eleventh hour.

There is also the matter of human life—a conservative estimate of more than 6,500 migrant workers from India and the rest of the sub-continent were reportedly killed during the making of the stadiums. This alone should have been enough to have stripped Qatar of the privilege of hosting the event. But the tournament is well and truly off the ground.
