To assume that all black Qatari athletes were nationalized purposely is very odd & racist

As Qataris with African roots counts for no less than 10 % of the Qatari population And have lived here for Ages.

Black Qataris have always excelled in sports. In fact , Qatar's best Athletes Mansoor Muftah & Talal Mansoor are black

I'm ashamed they still "buy" the athletes. For shame.

Congrats to the Gold Medal guy, but this video should have to be legally shown at the mention of ANY Qatar sporting success, for the rest of eternity;
