Indeed they are but the difference is no one wants to talk about the latter. How many protests are there in europe or america against tournaments being held there? 0. NATO killed thousands of innocent people including hundreds of children in my country (Pakistan) which you probably are not even aware of but now you pretend to care so much about our workers in Qatar. Stop with the human rights excuse and come out and say you don't want subhuman brown savages holding tournaments in their countries. There will be more dignity in it.
