It is amazing how the same line is fed to people over and over again when sports are involved. JC Bradbury of Kennesaw State University has made it his life's work to dispel the myth of new stadiums generating untold riches. He's seen it at least three times in Atlanta where they keep building new stadiums while trotting out the tried and true line: Build it and they will come... but who "they" are, and where they come from is never properly addressed.
Interestingly with Qatar, their quest for prominence on the world stage might be undercut by the light shining on a number of ethically questionable practices that persist there. Furthermore, I wonder if anyone will remember the capitulations of FIFA the next time that corrupt organization goes on a human rights campaign. That clown who runs FIFA comparing his plight as a bullied child because of his red hair and freckles to the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of migrants and the inhumane treatment of LGBT peoples was appalling.
