Major teams should boycott the Qatar World Cup. Rampant corruption, interruption of traditional seasons, human rights violations against workers building stadiums/infrastructure, dangerous heat...

There will be no boycott, however, partially since most of the countries have officials that were part of the bribery. Maybe the US should boycott if we aren't going to make it again. Kind-of like NCAA teams that ban themselves from post season when they weren't going to make it anyway.

Not a bad idea actually. We boycott, overhaul the program, hope North America lands the cup in 2026 and we get an automatic invite.

Generously, we can grant the Great White North and South of the Border a preliminary game or 2 of minimal interest.
