We Want Beer!

During the opening match between Ecuador and Qatar of the 2022 World Cup the fans were chanting "we want beer"! This was in response to reneging by Qatar in allowing the selling of beer at the stadiums where games were being played. Now, typically of these Arab oil countries, they are allowing the luxury boxes to have access to alcohol but just not for the regular soccer fan. Owners and drink but not the fans. Budweiser has the sponsorship rights to sell beer at the stadiums but Qatar stopped the selling of beer two days before the games were to begin.

They have also stopped people from entering stadiums wearing any kind of rainbow shirt or display. They make me want to turn off the games and ignore the World Cup if their bullshit keeps up.
