Fifa’s redress should be cash for human rights ✒️ analysis from PatrickStrud
Some of Fifa’s own employees are, according to the gay former Aston Villa and West Ham player Thomas Hitzlsperger, demoralised, desperate to do the right thing, but inhibited from doing so.But where to from here? It will take more than spin, something that Fifa hasn’t even mastered on a basic level. It will take effort, humility and action. Not just having meetings with human rights groups, but also implementing concrete change — beyond the World Cup final.
Fifa needs to cough up: give money to local organisations in and around Qatar trying to protect women, migrant workers and LGBT+ people. Grassroots efforts could be funded by the very organisation that profited from this spectacle.
