As if you needed more reasons to be skeptical of sportsball (in this case soccer): Workers Who Built Qatar's World Cup HQ Haven't Been Paid In A Year:
The situation for migrant workers in Qatar, which one international organization believes will result in more deaths than 9/11, doesn't appear to be getting any better. The Guardian, which has been all over this story, has a new report on migrant workers who have not received payment in over a year and have been living in roach-infested flophouses.

I dunno, I've seen that phrase about the Hotel Pennsylvania in Manhattan, and stayed there, and it was objectively accurate.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
