This, Living in a country where you have to defend football often. FIFA don't half make it difficult to defend.

I would boycott BA also for their tie up with Qatar Airways. I would stop buying petrochemical derived products due to human rights abuses in the Gulf region like beheading maids on trumped up charges.

Vile part of the world that got lucky andeveryone happily does business with it. Shouting your moral outrage from behind a football association of all things is to a certain extent mental. Thats not to say they shouldnt make a stand, and perhaps shaming them through something as globally loved as football may well be effective. But blaming FIFA for getting into bed with them is the thin end of the wedge. You dont shout and call the fella in the petrol station all the names under the sun do you.

The bloke in the petrol station is an insignificant part of the process.

FIFA are very definitely NOT insignificant. They won't do anything about it though because, as someone has said, they have their snouts too far into the trough to back out.
