No, people raised concerns about the Qatari selection almost immediately. It’s just come up in the news cycle again because it is now actually happening.

Most of the FIFA officials involved have been indicted for a while.

I don't think that he was necessarily talking about the timing of the criticism but the target that triggered it while the groups that are now preaching certain values when they are actively betraying those values in action and coverage in similar scenarios.
