Trevor Noah talking about how African and Middle Eastern teams at the World Cup get asked about their governments actions while Western countries don’t get asked the same type of questions

yeah they never ask the usa about the treatment of immigrants in concentration camps or even their treatment of trans people . or even their treatment of the iranian players and the fact they are CURRENTLY BOMBING IRAN

When Qatar was hosting the World Cup, they were constantly asked about their human rights violations and their treatment of the workers that build the World Cup stadiums. With all the war crimes being committed by the American government, none of them were questioned. The sad fact of the matter is that we live in the age of neocolonialism, where the west has created these institutions, Post World War II, that primarily serve their interests.

Watching the Iranian captain, Taremi, talk the other day, you could tell how just plain fed up he was of the unnecessary situation they’d been put in, but also just the fact that he and his teammates were repeatedly being put in positions where they felt they had to justify their right to be there.
They’d qualified in the same way every other team did (hosts exc) but few others got those questions.
It’s just an extra stress and added pressure that most Western countries don’t get placed on them.
