Canton outbreak for the World Cup: “Air-conditioned stadiums, thousands of deaths, a human horror”

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has once again launched an attack on Qatar and in his letter, shared by the official account to promote the boycott of the upcoming World Cup, he said he would not attend any game of the tournament, which starts on November 20th.

“I, the football fan, announce my decision that I will follow other personalities like Philipp Lahm, Vincent Lyndon and so on and will not watch a single game of this World Cup.

Firstly, because Qatar is not a football country. No heat, no taste. It’s an ecological aberration, with all these air-conditioned stadiums… what madness, what stupidity. But above all a human horror… how many thousands dead to build these stadiums, for what? To keep the crowd entertained for two months… and no one cares… A caricature of what man can bring as extreme filth.

Telling us that we don’t play, that we don’t broadcast, that we don’t advertise… It’s entirely possible. Sometimes in life you have to make decisions, even if it costs you. Since my childhood it was an event I loved, passionately awaited and followed. But let’s face it, it makes no sense! It’s an aberration.

It doesn’t matter whether France wins or loses! There are more important things in life than football! Instead I’ll rewatch all the episodes of Colombo, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen them.

And make money for those who close their eyes and hide behind the pinky and say “this is not our responsibility, there is nothing we can do”, states, associations, broadcasters, advertisers, etc. If you can, just hit an easy decision.”
