Soccer-FIFA rejects Denmark request to wear shirts with human rights message
One AmericaAPR 2023
This is yet another example of FIFA being overzealous in its judgment. This news reaffirms that the organization is simply refusing to acknowledge the plethora of rights problems that exist in the country they have chosen to host the next World Cup.
The mostly Western-centric critique of the World Cup is an unfair smear campaign. Ongoing protests only trivialize Qatar's progress, ignoring the fact that it has already disbursed $350M to workers last year alone and has doubled up on efforts to protect employees. European countries must recognize that they do not and should not hold a monopoly over global football.
