World Cup in Qatar to Create "Sober Zones"

It has been reported that fans who end up in a so-called "sober tent" will remain there until they are sufficiently clear-headed to be released with a warning. Being drunk in Qatar is not accepted by locals or authorities.

So you're going to take all the drunk soccer fans and put them in a tent together? Bold strategy. I don't see what could go wrong.

There needs to be a rebellion in FIFA to stop this sort of thing from ever happening again.

We should not be playing the World Cup in a country that

1. Has a history of major human rights violations
2. Has a temperature at which the game can not be safely played during it's normal time of the year (summer)

I am boycotting it. Its a total joke. It has no business being there.

Have you listened to the Lords of Soccer podcast? So frustrating that such a corrupt organization controls the biggest sporting event in the world (as well as the all the regional tournaments)
