Letter from Doha: In search of Qatar’s sports culture

GOING SOMEWHERE? Two hooded peregrines resting at the front of a storefront with a Qatar Airways First Class tag wrapped around their perch.
These are either the bravest…or stupidest…pigeons in the world.
Swooping down from the outcropped roof of the five-star Al Jasra Boutique Hotel, they circle over the shaded square, come in to land and perch themselves on a ledge above the shops, all of which sell their arch predators. We’re gonna go with stupidest.
