How long ago since western society actually accepted open gay relationships? 10 years, maybe 20 max?

Go ask Britain and Europe to sue FIFA then? I don't understand why this hasn't happend yet, it's not like they were oblivious to FIFA's corruption before. Is FIFA immune or something?

FIFA are clearly not the only one to blame here.

Even if it takes one year , Qatar should not have been allowed to bid but they did and still no one cared until Qatar won.

Again, where are European countries from this? it takes two to get FIFA where it is right now.. you can't just continue bashing FIFA and forget that no one is actually making a move against them and I wonder why?

Something like that probaly... and it took from like... 100 years to accomplish it.  40 years of "secret" groups followed by lobbying of public groups for 50-60 years. 

I mean, they haven't changed this policy even though it could cost them in less buisnesses relocating there but we think they are going to change for a soccer game?  That they've already been rewarded and that FIFA can't back out of?

Seriously?

Hey, to be honest.  I would of cared.  I didn't even know Qatar bid until they won.

Hell I didn't even know the US bid!

It's hard to get Soccer news in the US.  I didn't know China won the olympics until after they won too... was against that too.

personally I don't really care.

World cup is world cup and as long as the matches are entertaining it could take place in the middle of the ocean or elsewhere.

lol, I said European countries because I know other parts of the world don't really care

I am asking because I want to know. Why is FIFA given the power when they apparently can't make anything right? how the hell does fucking Blatter run it until now? What he said for gay people is enraging in so many ways!

I think it's just a matter of nobody wanting to give up the World Cup.

If they take the power away from FIFA... it's not really the World Cup anymore.  Say the UEFA and CONCAF pull out but nobody else does...

Where does that leave the World's favorite worldwide event? 

As for why Blatter ran it up until now, I'm sure it's unsurprising but his election over the UEFA president was shrouded in controversy and claims of bribes... including the vice president of CAF claiming he was offered $100,000 to vote for Blatter.

Then once in control Blatter basically removed everyone from power who tried to call him on his backroom dealings and general failings as head of FIFA.
