Re: Rainbow Hat Lady

Wearing a rainbow hat but going to Qatar anyways? Sounds like virtual signalling no?

Re: Rainbow Hat Lady

It was clearly set up

She's put the hat on and walked in knowing she would be stopped and it would make the news

I think she should be praised for highlighting the whole ridiculous situation

I take my hat off to her , if you will pardon the expression

Is that phrase from the same source as "escape goats"?

Re: Rainbow Hat Lady

At the end of the Qatar has its own laws like every other country and when going to that country obey them or face the consequences.I’m not saying Qatar should have been given The World Cup but they did and anyone going aware of any issues breaking the law whether you agree with or not.
Next World Cup is partly in America so no point going over there and drinking in a bar if your under 21,against the law.
Simple.

If Laura McCallister was arrested and spent a week in jail she could have dealt with it

She wasn't and has brought the topic out of the closet , if you like

Deffo worth losing your hat over

A new hat can always be made but this was their chance . I certainly hope that Qatar and countries like it are never given the opportunity by FIFA to host the world cup .

Well if Gianni Infantino has anything to do with it you're in for some disappointment. FIFA are a complete and utter embarrassment and the sooner a new organisation takes over the reigns for football the better.

my daughter said that's the reason why Hugo Lloris didnt want to wear the one love arm band

a quick google he said :

“When we are in France, when we welcome foreigners, we often want them to follow our rules, to respect our culture, and I will do the same when I go to Qatar, quite simply,” Lloris said. “I can agree or disagree with their ideas, but I have to show respect.”

raising the issue is great and shows the world what type of country Qatar is, but as soon as the WC is over, it was always going to go back to its backwards ways, it has no reason to change

Bit of a difference between getting chucked in jail cause you kiss your same sex partner in public and not being able to buy booze. Personally, I don't care about the no booze thing in Qatar. It is however a fckin disgrace that a country that excludes certain types of people should be included as a host for a world cup. Hosts welcome.

I'm watching a programme on Spanish TV ( "Salvados - El otro mundial" ) and it's seriously depressing stuff. Interviewing some woman in Nepal whose husband died of a urinary infection because he didn't have money to pay for the bottled water his employer offered.

..........I'm not going to watch any more of this WC. I'd feel dirty..........and I love watching the world cup. But **** em.

Why didn’t she take it off to get through security and then put it on again in the stadium thereby getting a lot more exposure once inside. The security checks weren’t particularly tight.

And why was it filmed?

Or is this all just yet more virtue signalling by any chance?
