Blatter finds potential trouble for homosexuals in Qatar hilarious

Since Qatar was given a 2022 World Cup earlier this month, a few Negative Nellies have announced about a one or dual tiny problems which might arise. One of those concerns is a actuality which homosexuality is illegal in Qatar and, in 1995, an American adult was punished with six months seizure as well as 90 lashes for being found guilty of homosexual activity. So, tellurian rights groups have been arguing which FIFA shouldn't prerogative a nation with such laws by giving it a World Cup as well as which this could put any homosexual fans in danger if they attend.

Well, internationally beloved comedic might as well as FIFA boss Sepp Blatter offered his take upon a make a difference (via a Guardian):

When asked about such issues, Blatter primarily joked by saying: "I would say they should refrain from any sexual activities."

Rimshot! Oh wait, no -- no, which was probably not a thing to say, even jokingly. Laughing as well as siding with an oppressive law as well as a cruel punishment probably isn't going to go over too hot. Maybe Sepp can miscarry from that, though, as well as unequivocally pull Qatar to change upon this matter. Or may be he'll shrug as well as express his ambivalent goal which everything only happens to work out. Which will it be?!?!

He afterwards one after an additional upon a more serious note: "We have been definitely living in a world of leisure as well as I'm sure when a World Cup will be in Qatar in 2022, there will be no problems. You see in a Middle East a opening of this culture, it's an additional culture since it's an additional religion, but in football we have no boundaries.

"We open everything to everybody as well as we think there shall not be any discrimination opposite any tellurian beings be it upon this side or which side, be it left, right or whateve! r."

And what a ideally reasonable thing to assume. Because everybody knows which discrimination doesn't occur anywhere, so because even worry about it?
