Foreigners involved in the sportswashing program don't have to fear consequences of their actions.

If its what I think it is haven`t they being doing that at Man City for over a decade?

Is their human rights record based on the poor working conditions of the migrant workers? They must be providing better wages and conditions than they could get at home otherwise they wouldnt have migrated there for work in the first place.

Unless they were kidnapped and put to work.

Sportswashing seems like a buzzword. Plenty of countries with historically terrible human rights records. If all were held to the same standards then Beligium would never be allowed in another tournament ever again

I found this. I quite like number 1. I guess the fact that they are number 2 in terms of excecutions means that USA is number one. Are they also sporstwashers?

Whatever you may think sportswashing is, your post proves it is working.

It's hypocrisy on a whole new level.

Sportswashing, so terrible that those that oppose it still seem to watch. No audience = nothing to wash

People will soon get bored of it and move on to the next thing. I don't hear much of the pronoun bullshit anymore. Old news

Which channel do I have to turn off and why? I'm not an activist, never was, never will be. I live my own life, not for someone else's agenda.

That doesn't mean I can't acknowledge why these fights are happening in Saudi Arabia. Why football clubs owned by the royal family spend fortunes to bring Ronaldo, Neymar and other big names to Saudi Arabia, why they get paid to play in almost empty stadiums, why they bring over musicians, tennis, MMA, European football teams and so on. There is nothing hypocritical about seeing reality as what it is. Hint: It's not for the people of Saudi Arabia. They don't even go to these events for a multitude of reasons.

You don't like hearing it? Turn off your computer. And accept that sportswashing is working. You comparing Saudi Arabia to Beligum and the US and getting angry at the word is exactly why they are doing it.

Just to let you know, that execution statistics you loved so much has China on first place, not the US. The US doesn't even have 10% of the numbers of Saudi Arabia with almost ten times the population.

What Belgium did in the Congo makes the Saudis look like Mother Theresa. We will never forget

Then the look on Tyson's face when he goes "how've you done that, silly cv nt?" Classic.

I know it's disgraceful behaviour and John deserves nicking for it, but I find the whole thing hilarious. Silly bollocks is pushing 60.

Then the follow up interview where Big John's giving it, 'Im a fighting man, I'm a warrior, he was in my face, blah, blah'. Kid's obviously done fvck all. Really, what is the matter with with him? It's absurd
