00:00You really don't need much.
00:01Yes, sometimes we must denounce the double standards that we can see in the treatment of certain
00:05World Cups.
00:05Because there is no reason to criticize Qatar, but not to criticize in the same way
00:09time the World Cup in the United States with Canada-Mexico or the World Cup in Russia.
00:14However, this is not because the United States' management of the World Cup is catastrophic,
00:18whether it concerns people who cannot enter the country solely due to nationality reasons,
00:22or because this World Cup simply doesn't inspire dreams with the Americanization of football,
00:26that we need to start romanticizing Qatar in 2022 and Russia in 2018.
00:30Because when I see this tweet, where they start blatantly criticizing Vladimir Putin's organization of
00:35The World Cup bothers me.
00:36One thing to remember is that these kinds of countries also organize World Cups for their image.
00:40Yes, from a purely footballing perspective, the World Cup in Qatar was fantastic, and the World Cup
00:44in Russia as well.
00:45So naturally, with the United States World Cup happening next door, we're inevitably going to point out the problems that exist.
00:50had,
00:50We will also point out the Americanization of football with this soccer culture and everything that goes with it.
00:55behind,
00:55It really pisses me off that we're in complete agreement, but that doesn't change anything.
00:57That doesn't erase the thousands of deaths on construction sites in Qatar.
01:00This does not erase the immense controversies that Russia may have regarding human rights.
01:04That doesn't erase the fact that Vladimir Putin is a dictator, he's an invader.
01:08and that he cheerfully shits on democracy.
01:10Again, just because an event is problematic today,
01:12and that it is more so than other past events,
01:15that all of a sudden, those past events become events where everything was fine.
01:18No, no, no.
01:18I would even go so far as to say that even today, Qatar is still worse.
01:22because, once again, there have been 7000 deaths on construction sites.
01:26So yes, perhaps the management of the World Cup in Russia was perfect.
01:29Yes, everyone was accepted, there were no problems, etc.
01:32And perhaps that was a good thing.
01:33But again, remember that this is purely for image reasons.
01:36that sometimes countries that are losing money will organize world cups.
