CW: World Cup, Death
On the death of a worker at a #WorldCup training site in #Qatar: “Death is a natural part of life, whether it’s at work, whether it’s in your sleep,” Nasser Al Khater, the chief executive of the 2022 World Cup in Doha, told reporters. “We’re in the middle of a World Cup. And we have a successful World Cup. And this is something you want to talk about right now?”
Despicable.
