    when was the last time you heard of nearly a thousand people dying at an F1 race event, or inside a movie theatre due to lack of AC?

    The Qatar World Cup killed a minimum of 400-500 project workers during construction.

    If that were happening multiple times per year we would shut down F1 /movie theaters in a heartbeat

    I wish that were true. But we’ve got a history of being extremely callous with athletes and spectators alike.

    The Saudi government has an ethical responsibility to mitigate the risks.

    I couldn’t agree more. Shane they’re cheap ass fucks

      It’s ironic that you cite a country where the government and ruling family are linked inextricably to Islam, but I digress.

      I wish that were true. But we’ve got a history of being extremely callous with athletes and spectators alike.

      Name any other ongoing event that kills thousands of people every single year like clockwork.

      Not trying to argue or anything… I just think that Islam is a foolish religion in the same way that Muslims might think that Mormonism is a foolish religion.

      Mormonism is stupid, but if they had an event that killed thousands of people from Utah every year I would like to think that at least OSHA would step in or something.
