There was widespread opposition within the sport at it being held in Qatar though, it's just that FIFA are corrupt. Footballers didn't choose it and don't want it, not least because it's too hot.

Also I think it's pointless saying "I don't want politics in [x]", politics is everywhere. The awarding of the World Cup to Qatar was political, they wanted it for political reasons, the objections to it are political and the calls for a boycott of it are also political.
