US Soccer reporter Grant Wahl dies during world cup game in Qatar
- Thread starter Jirao
- Start date
He was the reporter they wouldn't let in to one of the early games bc of his rainbow shirt
Correct. Im gonna agree with his brother and say foul play was involved.
I’m sure the Qatar authorities and FIFA will lead a straightforward investigation
I’m sorry for he and his family, but you can’t challenge the status quo in other countries like you can here. We seen this over and over. You have to be realistic about it, is supporting your brother’s choice worth dying over? The Emir doesn’t F around.
If y’all think the country of Qatar is getting American soccer journalists wacked over t shirts then you probably used to to lick the windows on the short bus
This is pretty gross and only makes you look stupid
I think heeez a writer who haz ROCKED THE BOAT a few times.
Autopsy will be interezzzting

Was it from boredom because he had to watch soccer? I bet that was it.
Agreed. I’m not saying it’s right, but I don’t understand the shock when something like this happens… what did you think they were going to do? Did you think they were going to change their entire way of life because you wore a rainbow shirt? Or did it not go over exactly how you thought it would?
Wasn’t just a shirt
Apparently he was confronting officials about poor conditions for migrant workers amongst other things
I thank WAHL wuz fired frum a gig during Covid beeekuzz he woooodnt take a pay cut
This is why I'm not taking weed into Russia anytime soon. Just seems like common sense.
Just don’t think countries like Qatar are in the knocking off American journalist business
The west thinks only western values should be respected…
I had a coworker that was drugged at a restaurant in Qatar, brought in for questioning on a trumped up charge, and then was interrogated for days about the weapon technology he was working with.
These are the same people that want to complain about just how bad Americans have it here…
there’s a reason i don’t go into other countries and mog them or challenge their values on their turf.
Yes, yes they will. We could all be better humans if we followed their lead.🤪
Nothing will never please them. They’ll always move on to the next grievance.
It ain't the country, it's someone living in it
Yep and we’re fools for thinking so.
Saudi arabia famously killed a journalist in another country right?
Jumping from a guy dies, no information available, to the Qatari's killed him because of a t-shirt? A shirt that initiated a 30 minute detainment before being allowed in the stadium while still wearing the shirt?
Pulmonary embolisms and deep vein thrombosis are not uncommon after long flights, and statistically, the chances of suffering a pulmonary embolism or DVT after a long flight are monumentally greater that the chance that you were singled out for murder by an Emir whose biggest ambition is to make his Kingdom a respected and modernized country.
Quatar stands to gain nothing and lose a great deal. ‘The Qataris killed him’ theory needs a lot of work before it rises to the level of ridiculously unlikely.
It ain’t the way I live my life. I’ve gone to many countries that think we’re ass. I just try to assimilate to wherever I’m at.
So have hundreds of journalists around the world. It had been a well documented story for more than 3 years. He wasn’t breaking any news.
I just been seeing da masses on da inter webs making it seem like it’s some super secret plot from the top of the ranks of Qatar. He could have got murdered I don’t know. I just don’t think he’s important enough to have an assassination plot for
I don’t know anything about a vaccine theory. Is that what the video was about?
