My Minute of News with Jeff Caplan

VVIP Seating


Listen Later

I know for most of us… the World Cup is over.  The US is out… that’s that.  See ya in four years.  But in Qatar… they’ve  created something so repulsive for this World Cup Tournament… that I have to share it with you.
Y’know the luxury boxes stadiums have for VIPs?  The climate controlled boxes with  the endless food and drinks and a hostess.  The beautiful people are often sealed behind glass like zoo animals for the rest of us to gaze upon?
Well in Qatar … where oil billionaires outnumber schoolteachers…. they’ve offering another  level of luxury.  Over there… even the VIP’s are nothing special.  Thus… at the World Cup… one step above … they have VVIP’s.   Very very important persons…. their luxury boxes are filled with unspeakable pleasures.  They include beds and showers.
And as you wonder why you might need to shower during a soccer match.  Mull on this.
The Qatari’s created a special ROAD for the VVIP’s - The roadsign above actually says “VVIP” with an arriow.  The road zips  you to a secluded stadium entrance so you don’t even have to be seen by the normals.  Among the VVIP’s… kings and Princes… Emirs and Shieks… Ivanka Trump & Jared. 
And while they dine on six course VVIP dinners… Utes fans are scrambling for an 18 inch seat at the Rose Bowl…. where there is no VVIP section.  But if you want a luxury suite for the Rose Bowl      It’ll run you $50-thousand dollars.  Or as it’s known in Qatar… pocket change.
