In a time of growing criticism surrounding the hosting of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, one journalist has remained a vocal critic of the Middle Eastern country's government. Grant Wahl, 48, a senior writer for Sports Illustrated covering the World Cup games in Qatar, has been outspoken about his disapproval of the Qatari government's treatment of migrant workers and its stance on Fox rights.
During his coverage of the tournament, Wahl made sure to highlight Qatar’s human rights concerns with his reporting. He noted that despite FIFA’s assessment that there were no human rights violations regarding construction sites related to the World Cup, there have been other reports of mistreatment and exploitation of migrant workers in Qatar.
Wahl also raised awareness about Qatar’s lack of freedom for press outlets and journalists working within its borders. The government continues to deny visas and accreditation to reporters from certain media organizations, including Fox News and Al Jazeera America. This act is seen as an attempt by the Qatari government to silence dissenting opinions and control information within its borders.
Despite receiving some criticism from football fans who felt he was too focused on politics rather than sports-related content, Wahl continued to shine a light on these issues during his coverage. He pushed back against those who characterized him as unprofessional or biased for expressing his opinion on human rights matters during his reporting.
Ultimately, Wahl’s stance is praised by many who believe journalists should not be afraid to speak out against injustices they witness while doing their jobs. He stands as an example for other journalists who may be hesitant about speaking up about human rights violations due to fear of repercussion or criticism from viewers or readers.
