FIFA president Gianni Infantino during a press conference.
“I am European. For what we have been doing for 3,000 years around the world, we should be apologising for the next 3,000 years before giving moral lessons,” he said. “I believe the changes that have happened in Qatar would maybe not have happened, or not at least at that speed, . Obviously, we need to keep pressure, obviously we need to try and make things better.”“In brushing aside legitimate human rights criticisms, Gianni Infantino is dismissing the enormous price paid by migrant workers to make his flagship tournament possible – as well as FIFA’s responsibility for it,” said Steve Cockburn, of Amnesty International.
“It’s not two regimes playing against each other, it’s not two ideologies playing against each other, it’s two football teams,” he said. Infantino said he had received assurances from the highest level of the Qatari government that LGBT people would be welcomed in the country for the World Cup.
Qatar wasn't ready for this event, they don't have 'American democracy' if people can't drink, kiss in public, wear next to nothing outfit & general irresponsible behavior, what's the point of this whole circus then, people will be sitting there sober & thinking, who wants that?

These Europeans are fighting for our rights, as Africans, more than some clever blacks masquerading as activists.
I wonder how much he is paid by the ruler of Qatar?
Infantino is the real hypocrite here
Proof that money always beats human rights. And why so many bots in the replies?
