6,500 died to build a Football stadium?
No. 6500 died in the time that they've been preparing. Migrant workers have been dying in Qatar for decades, and many of the 6500 likely had no connection to the World Cup. But really that kind of makes it worse, cause ramping up the demand for labor in a place where labor kills a lot of people regularly has such obvious consequences, the decision to have it there would be harder to condemn if Qatar didn't have these problems before and this was sudden or unexpected.
