Are those the only things that matter? Brazil had multiple indigent workers die building their death trap stadiums. South Africa bribed FIFA officials for the World Cup. Qatar sucks. But according to Human Rights Watch and the State Department, Azerbaijan has "free elections" in name only. Political opponents and investigative journalists and human rights lawyers are arrested and jailed on trumped on charges. The polling stations are all government controlled. The ruling strongman "won" his latest election with an implausible 85% of the vote.
So is Azerbaijan a less objectionable sponsor than Qatar? I suppose so. But I'm not sure I'd be too jazzed about clearing that bar.
