There should be a term for people, who hate certain countries hosting sporting events.  At least Qatar is in my time zone and it's perfectly timed for me.  If only there was a capable TV to show it (and not the dreadful BNT).

Yeah.....the time zone has not much to do with it

Russia and Qatar should never host sporting events imo

No, Qatar should events because they can afford. What they shouldn’t do is use slave labor to host such events.

yeah, that parts awful, but they should be a non-starter for hosting anything because they have no sporting history and pay for athletes. They also bribe to host these events. Also, it's like a thousand degrees there and they fuck with the traditional timing and schedule of competitions. Need I go on? That alone, should preclude them from hosting all of these events - but, if they're only option for hosting, as it appears in many cases, c'est la vie. 

 

In summation, fuck Qatar. This is my statement

Kuwait on Saturday recorded the highest temperatures in the world; reaching 52.2 degrees Celsius in the shadows and 63 degrees Celsius under direct sunlight

'Messing' with 'traditional timing and schedule' seems a bit of an odd reason not to grant hosting rights, to put it mildly.

[bestmen 2,565]

they can schedule the races at over midnight , all what the athletes have to do is taking the Amphetamine/Marijuana/ to avoid to sleep

While giving petrodollars as a bribe being the only reason to give these hosting rights is ok?
