Beer is out at the World Cup.

After all that (alcoholic) beer will now not be sold inside the perimeter at all eight of Qatar’s World Cup stadiums.

tbh, I think there is an element of racism or something similar in the western media's attitude to Qatar. Russia is also completely homophobic, treats migrant workers like shit, restricts foreign media, is fairly shit at football (good USSR teams were mostly Ukrainians) etc. but the objecting voices were much more muted beforehand in 2018.
