Sepp Blatter: Qatar World Cup workers’ welfare is not Fifa’s responsibility

[Lord Bracknell]

Is it?

Taking advantage of the desperation of impoverished migrant workers, whilst reprehensible, is a fair stretch from enslaving and persecuting an entire people on racial lines, tbh.

It's more than reprehensible. The deal that impoverished migrant workers have to put up with amounts to slavery.

Even if some of them are for all intents and purposes, slaves?

Good grief - I'm not condoning the conditions / treatment - the Qatari rulers and the foreign companies involved (and in this case the evil North Korean regime) should be held properly accountable for these, and forced to be repsonsible for making improvements - its an area where FIFA actually COULD be a force for good. If they gave a shit.
