Then I stand by my statement.
“My body finally broke down on me. Three weeks of little sleep, high stress and lots of work can do that to you,” Wahl wrote. “What had been a cold over the last 10 days turned into something more severe on the night of the USA-Netherlands game, and I could feel my upper chest take on a new level of pressure and discomfort.”
“I went into the medical clinic at the main media center today, and they said I probably have bronchitis. They gave me a course of antibiotics and some heavy-duty cough syrup, and I’m already feeling a bit better just a few hours later. But still: No bueno,” he wrote.

Didn’t it get bought out by one of modi’s connection?

We know what happened to Khashoggi, so we know these regimes go to great lengths to do something like this.

A danish journalist getting harassed and having his camera broken means guest journalists are at risk of getting assassinated by Qatar?
Khashoggi was a Saudi and assassinated by the Saudi government. Not right by any means, but this is probably why they felt they could get away with doing something like this.
I know Qatar and Saudi Arabia border each other, and both are Arabic. But they operate quite differently, and they actually have their own beef. Can't paint the two with a broad brush.
If you assassinate somebody like Wahl, you are flirting with some really bad repercussions. Especially if you are Qatar, and not Saudi Arabia

I mean hell, they literally used slaves to build these stadiums and nobody bats an eye

RIP again.
Maybe it was just his passion for his job. Some people are so passionate about what they do that they'll let it kill them. Wahl was one of the first soccer heads on radio/podcasts in the USA.
But maybe he was just overworked... Work culture is getting insane nowadays. And with the labor shortage pretty much hitting all sectors, people are expected to work long extra hours with lots of stress. Looks like it's even hitting people who were viewed as having the "easy" / "cushy" jobs.
Looks like he even said he wasn't feeling well but I'm guessing he was still expected to do his job while sick

it is not painting arabs with a broad brush, it is painting authoritarian and theoratic regimes with a broad brush. if something like this happened in russia people would have similar questions, we know these governments dont like dissent and free press and willing to go to great lengths to suppress them.
while assassination here is a speculation, qatari government's harrassment of press is very much real. and we already knew they dont really value human life very much, so it is very normal for people raise questions when something like this happens.

Is it normal if I start theorizing that the Americans did it themselves to push their political and other agendas like they've done countless times throughout history? Wouldn't put it past the CIA.
RIP to Grant Wahl

It wasn't geared to be a tribute to Grant Wahl. Looking at the OP and the posts following, it honestly looks like there's just demand for a hate-related murder.
This kind of stuff is just as bad as people blaming Wahl's death on the Covid-vaccine with little to no evidence.
The internets never ceases to amaze me. Body was still warm, but people were ready to push their agendas and theories.
