That doesn't make any sense. I don't hold a job stopping cars on the road. 

If I did, I wouldn't put it down. 

Oh, you can't hold a job?

Maybe go back to school for more training.

Why do you care? I work in a company that has 700,000+ employees. I am a business consultant.

They brought up getting a "vaccine". I said it's fake and got an out. I don't need one because I'm in great health and even if I wasn't in great health I wouldn't care.  I have a doctor that said I don't need one and my company needed to comply.

Seriously, what's wrong with you? Go get another "vaccine" shot. 

What do you mean what’s wrong with you?  Was there a law against wearing a shirt with a rainbow on it?  I know they supposedly banned them at the games, but pretty sure it’s not an actual law.

And yes, I’m only “pretty sure.”  Go f yourself

This is what happens when idiots don’t respect other nations when traveling. Speak your mind in foreign lands and you’ll end up dead. 

It's also a stark reminder that the good old USA is not this terrible and oppressive country those same idiots keep screaming about and why it's still the Gold Standard of Freedom.

If anything, this should open up the eyes of the fellow idiots and think maybe they got it wrong about the USA.  Nothing says "freedom" more than being able to criticize your own country 24/7 and the second you head over to one of these "better" countries you end up dead for your beliefs.

Also, I don't know who this guy is but it seems like his brother right off the bat made it about him by telling everyone he was gay.  Talk about reinforcing a stereotype about the LGBTQ+ crowd.  Always gotta' make it about them.

Have you ever traveled outside the US?  Don’t assume that you need to break a “law” in order to be punished in other countries.

That doesn’t make it right.  And crapman was comparing to Griner who did break a law.

Already mentioned this above, but to elaborate, remember the scud stud that work for nbc? He died in Iraq of deep vein thrombosis. Would not surprise me at all if that's what happened with this guy.

Qatar bribed FIFA in order to host.  I believe it’s been admitted by some of those that received the bribes

Im guessing  too.  However from what I’ve read it’s because he went MIA. Was in contact with family members then wasn’t. A long gap between last contact and death notification.  Wasn’t like he was in a hospital or something.

Where did you read that?  Haven’t seen that

I wonder if anyone will actually boycott or do some form of actual protest at any games or just post about their outrage on twitter

Nobody actually cares. Not even this dead guy. He wanted clicks and good boy points.

All this outrage about the deaths, antihomo no beer etc... Is fake. People and governments don't give a . Teams still showed up, people still watched and government officials made a sad face and wagged their fingers.

The cult of sport is truly something.

When one of our states said you have to use the bathroom that conforms to your biological sex, there was a boycott. Business is still conducted with countries that have outlawed lgbtq.

Agreed, except about Wahl.  He seemed to be one of the few that actually did wear the rainbow stuff, and I believe he refused to take it off during the documented incident.

But did not a single player even wear the armband thing and get a yellow card?  Even like when there was only a few minutes left in a game where they were about to get eliminated?

I don't know.  Seems like we could use more evidence.  The indictment appears to say they agreed to something and it will happen.  Then money was wired to someone's account, but there isn't any email saying those transfers weren't for something else.

Well there’s a lot more evidence of corruption at FIFA than government collusion with twitter, but funny joke!

When I saw this headline I immediately knew which two Geeks would be first to make political hey out of it with their asinine hack partisan takes.
