Journalists from television and newspapers in Germany criticize that FIFA wants to host an international football / soccer championship in Qatar, because the construction workers would be employed for the prestige architectures there under human-degrading conditions. But the famous German football star Franz Beckenbauer says, that he has seen in Qatar not a single slave in chains. The German population as usual believes what an idol is saying.
