Summary

On today's episode I discuss the controversy surrounding the World Cup in Qatar which begins Sunday. I discuss the many concerns that have been raised by many people from countries around the world. I also discuss that like the recent Winter Olympics in China, the world once again is turning their head for a few weeks. The games always seem to go on, regardless of atrocities that may be commonplace in a particular host country. Actions speak louder than words and the world is telling Qatar we don't like your laws etc, but hey we'll be there! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
