So the #WorldCup2022 is done, and not watching a game was tough and never as easy at the same time. In any case, I made it.
I can‘t recommend two podcasts highly enough on that,on the one hand #BeyondQatarPod 
,on the other hand #WorldCorrupt by #PodSavetheWorld & #MenInBlazers.
I’d like to highlight a few things and reflect on a few thoughts about #BoycottQatar2022:
First of all,my main motivation was to boycott #FIFA:
The Arab world deserves to have hosted a World Cup, Qatar’s security concerns as a motivation to do #Sportswashing on that scale are genuine.
Qatar has a long way to go on #humanrights, but is not on a completely wrong track.
The main problems I have have more to do with how the World Cups 2018 (boycotted most of that, too) and 2022 were awarded; how #FußballmafiaFIFA captures so much of the wealth football generates;…
and, more generally, also involving #footballmafiaUEFA how football generally is moving further and further away from a system that allows #50plus1 to exist, one that is sustainable for mid-sized clubs, one that strives to create a #SuperLeague without a #SalaryCap, one that seems to abolish promotion and relegation soon, and one that doesn‘t care about the good #TheBeautifulGame can do for local communities.

Römeth @Squig@eupolicy.socialI‘ll be watching the next #WorldCup2026, hopefully even travelling there (less hot about the #Euro2024, how could they not chose #Hanover?!)
In any case, #Fifa needs to be dismantled, and UEFA needs to be reformed. The best way to do that is to reform the #DFB, and that only happens when we strengthen #50plus1.
