Everyone is, rightly, up in arms about Zouma and the cat kicking. However they will ignore reports that more than 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died in Qatar since it won the right to host the World Cup 10 years ago, that the Guardian has revealed.
They ignore the appalling human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia to gleefully accept the millions that they are pouring into Newcastle United. Not to mention the Winter Olympics being held in China with it appalling record of human rights violations. China has detained Uighurs at camps in the north-west region of Xinjiang, where allegations of torture, forced labour and sexual abuse have emerged. I suppose that as they are mainly Muslim they don't really count?
But kick a cat and you are beyond the pale.
Top sport in its pursuit of money has long sold its soul, as long as you don't kick a cat!
