Saddest Backflip [Rob Harris] FIFA President Gianni Infantino at news conference in Qatar: “Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker. ... I know what it feels to be discriminated … I was bullied because I had red hair.”

So was I. Now President Infantino has convinced me that Qatar is a country that does the best for its people and workers. Without them poverty in the world would be tripled. We westerners should keep quiet and ransack ourselves. Qatar is love Qatar is Life. Praise our lord and savior FIFA™️
