if it fills in i bet some woke designer will give her a modeling gig.

This has been the case for years and years and not just FIFA. Olympics are bad for it. Ruthless working conditions to get everything up and built to bring in a short term burst of money, they hide all the poor people away so the country dosen't look bad. Its brutal.. Committee member caught in fraud and schemes using their own companies to build all the new infrastructure.

And its usually shitty temp construction thats abandoned to rot in only a few years. super gross....

very sad. Brazil had a similar issue for 2014 but i dont think its even close to this level of death toll

also all that spending and then most of the stadiums just rot afterwards

inb4’d me lol

I don't even get how they're gonna play in it. Qatar is hot as fuuuuck

even ghetto projects hold up better, they could invest a bit more and make low income housing to create long term revenue. NOPE. pvc piping and shitty insulated houses they pump hot air into short term then crumble. fucking gross.

They wanted to schedule it around Qatar's cooler season but I don't think FIFA will get away with that due to leagues

Looks like people with dicks can't compete in womens pageants. Hopefully joe does something about this

Federal Judge Rules Miss United States of America Can Exclude a Transgender Woman From Its Pageants
https://www.wweek.com/news/courts/2021/02/25/federal-judge-rules-miss-united-state-of-america-can-exclude-a-transgender-woman-from-its-pageants
The Miss United States of America pageant isn't breaking any laws by excluding transgender women from its beauty pageants, a federal judge in Portland ruled on Thursday.

Anita Noelle Green, the 2019 Miss Elite Earth Oregon and the third transgender woman to compete in the Miss Universe organization, for the title of Miss Montana USA, sued Miss United States of America in 2019, after the pageant barred her Miss Oregon entry based on its policy of only allowing "natural born females" to compete. WW first reported on her lawsuit in 2019.

U.S. District Judge Michael Mosman ruled today that the pageant had shown it was an "expressive" organization that seeks to promote a specific message, rather than one devoted to making money. That distinction means Miss United States of America can exclude people if their participation wouldn't be congruent with that message, Mosman ruled.

And that means Miss United States of America can insist on its own definition of "natural born female," Mosman added.

"Defendants assert both by action and by policy a particular definition of 'natural born female.' The most plaintiffs can raise, according to what they have submitted to me, is that plaintiff meets her own or a different definition of natural born female. But there is no evidence that she can meet defendant's definition."
