“Websters defines an Outlaw as one that is unconventional or rebellious. With the report breaking today of the beneficial nature of the relationship between the American Outlaws and state regime that runs Qatar, I ask you, the reader, what is more rebellious than turning in our own fans who are critical of the government and human rights record of Qatar for free a free trip.
Throughout the whole of human history we have seen daring rebels take on the establishment.
When Sid Vicious smashed a guitar on stage, that was the equivalent of turning in a few twitter accounts that detailed the detailed the deaths of migrant workers in Qatar for a chartered flight
When Johnny Cash flipped off the camera for that poster that hangs on my wall, that was the equivalent of getting free tickets for reporting fans who made private posts on Facebook that are critical of the extreme homophobic laws that Qatar has which will endanger fans at the World Cup.
When Scarface did that line of coke, that’s exactly the same as me getting private access to the temporary beer areas and a trailer of my own to sleep in if I turn in a few more fans for tweeting that Qatar practiced a form of slavery by not allowing migrant workers to leave while also not paying them.
There is nothing more American Outlaw than our rebellious nature and I say the biggest rebels of all are the ones that willingly endanger and turn on their own fans in order to gain access to the glorious nation of Qatar and the World Cup that will be the best ever held. GO QATAR.”
