They may have money to throw at the problem, but Nepalese migrants building the infrastructure to host the 2022 World Cup died at a rate of almost one per day. Look at the full report, it's astounding:
* Evidence of forced labour on a huge World Cup infrastructure project.
* Some Nepalese men have alleged that they have not been paid for months and have had their salaries retained to stop them running away.
* Some workers on other sites say employers routinely confiscate passports and refuse to issue ID cards, in effect reducing them to the status of illegal aliens.
* Some labourers say they have been denied access to free drinking water in the desert heat.

The lack of humanity they displayed was an eye opener for me and helped me come to the realization that Soccer/Football has become the proxy for war in Europe. While that is, all things considered, an excellent development (I'll take hooliganism over world wars), it's also scary that people seem to have a deep-seeded, tribal need to fight and, when we do, we seem to lose all compassion for the opposition. Events like the World Cup seem to play on this need rather than trying to quash it.
The fact that all games of WC will be played in one city is the problem. All the fans in contact for a prolonged span...It won't end well.
