Notably: As we watch the opening match of the World Cup from Qatar today, here are a few excerpts from Human Rights Watch’s 2022 report on that lovely country: “[A] migrant worker’s legal status in Qatar remains tied to a specific employer, where an employer can apply, renew, or cancel a worker’s residency permit, and that “absconding,” or leaving an employer without permission, remains a crime. Workers, especially low-paid laborers and domestic workers, often depend on their employer not just for their jobs, but for housing and food. Passport confiscations, high recruitment fees, and deceptive recruitment practices remain largely unpunished. Workers are banned from joining trade unions or exercising their right to strike. Such impunity and remaining aspects of the kafala system continue to drive abuse, exploitation, and forced labor practices.” In other words, workers in Qatar are being treated exactly as workers were treated in Europe and the United States 150 years ago. “In May, Qatari authorities forcibly disappeared a Kenyan security guard and labor activist, Malcolm Bidali, detaining him in solitary confinement for a month, after which they conditionally released him back to his company’s worker accommodations. […] Women in Qatar must obtain permission from their male guardians to marry, study abroad on government scholarships, work in many government jobs, travel abroad until certain ages, and receive some forms of reproductive health care. The discriminatory system also denies women the authority to act as their children’s primary guardian, even when they are divorced and have legal custody, without regard to the child’s best interests. […] Qatar’s Family Law also discriminates against women in marriage, divorce, child custody, and inheritance. Women are required to have a male guardian’s permission to marry.” More tomorrow. Here’s a special reminder to Qatar inspired by Flagler Pride:

On one level, the Qatar World Cup represents all that is wrong in hypercommodified megaevents: global consultancies, multinational corporations, government agencies, FIFA itself. And yet this year’s tournament also makes clear that the game is no longer the exclusive domain of European states and their erstwhile Latin American colonies. Football is a cultural force like no other. Its intricate history has transcended boundaries and captured the hearts of millions in the Middle East and beyond. It is something on which to project hopes and fears, anxieties and aspirations. As the teams representing 32 nations take to the field in the month ahead, those aspirations will take center stage.

–From Abdullah Al-Arian’s “Why the World Cup Belongs in the Middle East,” The New York Times, Nov. 18, 2022.

    “…If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich…”

    I think that Quat’r also shows some positive signs: They had Morgan Freeman, an agnostic, take center stage; they had some housing for foreign workers [Saudi Arabia lets them fashion their own huts from blocks lying about]; and at least they paid some lip service to inclusivity, human equality and diversity. We shall see what they’ll do about the “One Love” armbands with the rainbow flag on the arms of the European teams, although FiFa is to be blamed more for an attempt to suppress the bands. I thought the presence of some women in public and the rudiments of a women’s team show some albeit tiny steps of progress. And most iqamas [work permits], which are standard in most of the Middle East for foreign workers, may be transferable in the future. So, the outlook for one who has experience the Middle East is not quite so bleak. Alone opening its borders to foreign visitors is a step forward. Now if they only can leap over their shadow on the beer issue . . .

    Thank you, Pogo.

    I like the advice given by a now forgotten person: The best exercise is helping another person up.
