Playing dirty politics
Regarding “Watching World Cup will be a dirty feeling” (Sporting Green, Nov. 8): If watching the World Cup, according to columnist Scott Ostler, should engender a dirty feeling because Qatar is an authoritarian regime, then how should 49er fans feel when they watch their team play?
