Sporten.com has one less competitor in WC coverage in Qatar

I admit I haven’t read ABC News in a long time, the website for those of you who need large fonts or a magnifying glass. – We agree that Qatar has a long way to go before it fulfills human rights, but they are the best in the middle and have implemented a number of reforms in recent years that strengthen the social rights of most people.

ABC Nyheter reports that they have decided not to write or publish sporting material about the football World Cup and editor David Stenerud told Journalisten: “For us this is a question of right and wrong. We don’t want to help legitimize a country that oppresses women and homosexuals and almost make slaves as labor”

“Of course we will continue to cover the politics surrounding the World Cup in Qatar, but if you want to know how it goes when Poland meet Saudi Arabia in the group stage”

“What made us cover the World Cup in Qatar is that dialogue and gatherings of people from all over the world can provide perspective for those in charge”

If someone boycotted Qatar first and set their human rights abuses as a “benchmark” for which country to be ashamed of, the list would be very long.
