Football's Conscience

[andy-hughes]

Football seems to be developing a conscience regarding the corruption in Qatar.

Since the location of the World Cup in China,Russia, and now Qatar, were entirely rooted in rank corruption, isn't it a bit late for everyone to suddenly grow a sense of moral outrage now?

Don't blame Joe Bloggs

Blame the corrupt FIFA officials , and their liking for brown envelopes

Yes, I'd say it's a bit late to develop a conscience now. Soccer has been as bent as nine bob note forever. Driven by mammon.

Most organisations whose initial letter is F are bent.

The only surprise is that people are surprised.

That said, for 10 million I'd be content to look the other way.

Good luck to all those who've been daft enough to pay £175 a night to stay in the 'fan village'. Still under construction, and they'll boil in the plastic tents:

I think so. But think of the money involved. Money trumps morality, ethics, and love.
