    And that’s how the US permanently lost hosting opportunities to world events including the Olympics…

      Oh dont act like that. Qatar hosted the last one and it was rife with human rights violations. I doubt this will change much for the kind of people who go to these.

        Not to diminish the obvious human rights violations at Qatar, but they’re charging a premium entry fee at $250 a person which may or may not guarantee entry with risk of possible detention and random deportation. People are seriously going to pay for that? Did Qatar do that? No really, serious question.
