You can change your citizenship, but it’s difficult to disassociate yourself from your faith. It is not easy to convert a Christian into a Muslim.

And so the REWE CEO, Lionel Souque, issued a statement, in which he wrote that his company opted for diversity and believed the FIFA’s decision to be outrageous. And the German football association had to suffer consequences. REWE terminated the contract forthwith. And it is difficult to imagine that such a decision wasn’t dictated by a business calculation either.
German soccer players weren’t even helped by their protest consisting in covering their mouth when they were posing for the photo before the match against Japan (they lost quite unexpectedly). By doing which they wanted to suggest they had been gaged.
In turn, the stigmatization of Western colonialism is driven by the interests of politicians from Asian, African and Latin American countries. They prey on the anti-Western (especially anti-American) resentments of the societies of the Global South. These are politicians who are against, for example, restrictions against Russia for its assault on Ukraine. And they can count on the understanding of Pope Francis. And it turns out that their spokesman is Infantino.
Among these politicians there is the newly elected president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. His victory in the October election was celebrated in the West (including Poland) by people from the left-liberal establishment. It is significant that Lula’s pro-Kremlin geopolitical course does not hurt them. It is enough that someone who can be called a “Russian foot-wrapping” is an antagonist of the American pro-Trump right wing, and then they are not only accepted but also enthusiastically celebrated after the election victory. And it has a name: hypocrisy.
To sum it up: who, in the argument between two left-wing options is right? Surely it is not Infantino. When the public opinion acts against violence aimed at “misfits” in such countries as Qatar (especially when such deeds have a legal sanction there), such protests are most commendable.
The problem is that we are also dealing with an export of moral revolution, whose goal is to accustom societies with various deviant behaviors. And this is already not standing up for human dignity but insulting it.
