Fox to avoid Qatar's treatment of migrant workers during FIFA WC broadcasts

Fox plans to avoid coverage of Qatar's controversial treatment of migrant workers during World Cup broadcasts, much as it didn't address criticism of Russia's government during the 2018 tournament. "Our stance is if it affects what happens on the field of play, we will cover it and cover it fully," David Neal, executive producer of Fox's World Cup coverage, said Thursday. "But if it does not, if it is ancillary to the story of the tournament, there are plenty of other entities and outlets out there that are going to cover that. We firmly believe the viewers come to us to see what happens on the field, on the pitch." Neal spoke at an event to debut images of the network's set in Doha made of LED screens, the hub of its coverage of a tournament that runs from Nov. 20 to Dec. 18. "This set, in typical subtle Fox fashion," he said, "I think it will be visible from Mars." Qatar has been criticized over its treatment of the workers who built the World Cup venues.
