Well, I boycotted it but I suspect that made little difference.

Problem is that if an institution (like the BBC) boycotted the Qatar World Cup, they'd almost certainly be in breach of contracts and banned from future world cups (and depending how vindictive FIFA wanted to be, UEFA and Premier League coverage too.)

So the fact that the event goes against human rights is not enough to cancel a contract? What a sad world we live in.
