 As the World Cup—the most important football tournament in the world--continues many questions remain about the state of the game. How prevalent is corruption? Why is the governing body not more willing to advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights and for worker well-being? What is future of a sport in which inequality continues to grow? How concerned is the sport about player welfare?
