With the World Cup being hosted in Qatar, you know, this is something many people have said, there's a lot of hypocrisy that goes around. People always imagine or try to say that sports can unite people and no politics, but there's always politics and everything, you know, the World Cup, the logic of it, it deals with the nation state.
