Anger Over Qatar Hosting Power Slap Event
The announcement of Qatar hosting Power Slap 27 for the first time in Doha on November 19 has sparked widespread controversy across social media platforms. Twitter users and activists voiced their objections to the nature of the competitions, which involve slapping opponents on the face, considering that they clash with Qatari societal values and promote violence. Criticisms came from senior officials and writers, emphasizing that such an event does not align with Qatari traditions and culture. They also warned of its negative influence on children's behavior, as well as significant health risks associated with hitting the face and head, including potential brain injuries and concussions. Some called for a review of the decision to organize the tournament and suggested replacing it with more culturally appropriate activities. They argued that hosting such competitions damages Qatar's image and threatens principles of respect and morality.
