FIFA Boss Says Gays Should Refrain from Sexual Activity in Qatar

[epicSocialism4tw]

Qatar bought the 2022 World Cup. Now in an attempt to address obvious concerns about the lack of human rights in Qatar, Sepp Blatter said the following:

"Fifa president Sepp Blatter says gay fans going to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal, should "refrain from sexual activity"."

****ing FIFA.

"The World" doesn't recognize our football. However "The World's" futbol is a bunch of biggoted, mafia run, cheating, ****heads.

At least our refs admit when they make a mistake.

Yeah, I don't see the West attending this World Cup in numbers.

How long before a bunch of gay activists go on a kiss in in front of cameras at the world cup? What are they going to do exectute them? put them in prison? What a joke of a country to give a world even to.

I think America should boycott and not go. The way they treat women and homosexuals in that country goes against everything we believe in.

seems pretty simple to me, gays should boycott the event, im not sure what a world cup would be like with no players tho

[sirhcyennek81]

Russia is not exactly a bastion of open mindedness, either. And if two men or two women kiss on TV in Qatar, they will be arrested. If they arrest english teachers in Tunisia or Libya or wherever the hell for naming a teddy bear Mohammed and giving her 20 lashes what would they do to gay westerners?

Religion of peace.

[cutthemdown]

Then the American team should all kiss, on the field, with open mouths, as a show of support for freedom!!!!

The next three world cups are going to be disasters. Brazil is behind schedule, Qatar has all the problems plus, and Russia is giant mafia state.

and the team should be put in jail

right or wrong, the law of the land is that its not allowed, do you follow speed limits in mexico ? how about canada ? or do you think that becasue our limits are lower than yours that they dont apply ? i mean if the anti gay law shouldnt apply why should speed limits ?

what makes you think that you dont have to respect the laws of any country ? yes you have freedom when within the american boarder. If you dont want to abind by the rules, dont go, or if you go, and get caught, and end up getting jailed or caned, dont cry to us for help.

the world cup never should have been given to the hell hole, but thats a totally separate issue.

If soccer had cheerleaders, I'd watch them make out. Two guys though? Totally gay.

Are you beheaded for breaking the speed limit in mexico? (which is ridiculous...Ive been to Mexico...if there is a speed limit in Juarez they all ignore it). How about Canada? For FIFA to select Qatar for a world wide event is close to giving the Olympics to Berlin in 1936.

Simply because it is a law does not make that law just. What happens if the World Cup was held in Apartheid South Africa and you are black? Are foreigners supposed to abide by racial laws simply because its the "law of the land" that a silly ****ing game is being played in? Or does cultural sensitvity only extend to the visitors?

you know the repercussions before going, so choose to go accordingly, if you are gay you can choose to go and not act gay, and im sure you will be fine, on the other hand a black man could not go to africa and act white, well i guess he could wear pants that fit, pull them up around his waist and wear his hat forward like normal people, but thats not going to change his skin color.

and yes im one of those people who thinks you choose to be gay, whereas you dont choose to be black.

I'm one of those people who don't think being gay should be equal to race in terms of societal protections and, while it appears the country is leaning toward equal protection, we can't force foreign countries to view our opinions the same. If French people came to our pools and started taking off their tops, we'd raise a fuss as well. What is decent and what is not can't really be dictated - it depends on the culture.

couldn't disagree more with sexuality being a choice but very cool of you to admit that. most people hide behind religion and fear

[cutthemdown]

Anyone who thinks gay rights activists won't do something is crazy. They almost have to. Can't pass up showing the world what a mistake they made by putting world cup in a backwards ass country.

[cutthemdown]

And being gay no more a choice then being straight. People who think it is a choice are gay.

Oh, well let's just send that to some scientific journals. I thought the debate had been going on for a very long time but, alas, one of our own board members had the answer all along.

You may not choose to be gay but I don't, personally, believe you just come out with wires crossed. I'll concede that it's probably a gradual thing that once you realize, it's already too late to change but it's not something anyone can prove in any way so the debate will continue forever.

I think they choose whether or not they want people to know they are gay....And maybe even whether or not they want to act straight etc etc. But if you man dick I think it's safe to say it's just the way you are. I mean cmon who would choose that? !!!

[cutthemdown]

Women so much better looking then men, to want men has to be a hard wired for both other men and women.

well then i guess pedophiles are born into kids right ? since sexuality is hard wired and not just a choice.

i dont have a problem with the choice, but with the choice comes consequences and one of them in qatar could be severe.

For that to be true you would have to prove that not a single person chooses to have sex with the same gender.

Which is impossible,
makes bi-sexuality impossible

While certainly homosexuality has a genetic basis, everything related to human behavior does, everything after birth mostly has an environmental cause.

To put it another way: I can take a group of male babies and raise them all to be homosexuals because it's learned behavior. Such a study is unethical

Well said. I think it's quite interesting that so many want to believe such a concept when children really have no sense of sexuality until puberty - so for the first 12+ years of their life, this concept of homosexuality was supposedly lying dormant and unchanging in their genetic code and could've never been impacted by things in those developmental years... not a chance.

Then, you hear these people who say "I knew from the beginning I should've been a girl rather than a guy. Everytime I dressed up in my mom's clothing and makeup, it felt right" and you know exactly why they are the way they are.

You always have a choice to act, or not to act on the impulses your brain sends. Pedophiles, like sociopaths often can't control there impulses, become a threat, and have to be put away. But did they chose to be sociopaths or pedophiles? probably not. They can choose to act or not to act though.

Just like a gay could choose to not act of those feelings and be straight. You can choose your actions but not your true nature.

Clear enough for you dullard?

You can change how people behave through indoctrination and teaching but what people are wired to do is genetic. Even if it is a choice who cares? We have freedoms and people can choose to do whatever they want.

Who people chose to have sex with shouldn't matter. Sex is a basic right of all people IMO. For a country to try and make it illegal is a violation of human rights and I will always be against that. I may not understand why a man would like another man, because I am not wired that way, or my environment raised me different? who cares?

Regardless it's wrong to hold this event in a country that oppresses people.
