You hear it a lot in this context, even from the head of fifa. The west bad so Qatar and Saudi trying to improve their image specifically via football is fine. It’s dimwitted and irrelevant.

Is the UK government investing billions in British football in a targeted attempt to whitewash their colonial history? Is the US government doing the same to distract from the invasion of iraq? No, they’re not. The protester accepted every one of their examples as morally wrong, including saying he protested against the Iraq war, but did they listen? Nope. The immorality of historical acts has zero baring on the morality of Saudi sports washing. In fact the fans position is moronic, to be outraged by the examples they gave but not at all about their club being used in this way is the morally inconsistent stance. And all because they want to win at football.

Well said

Yep it's staggering.

It's hard on the fans at the same time as the custodians of their club (and the PL) have put them in this position.

That's got to be better than a punch up. They're just having some fun there.

True

I just think I’m way too old to consider it fun anymore

Newcastle fan attacked and stabbed in Milan ahead of Champions League game. I'm sure UEFA will take action, just like they did the last hundred or so times it's happened there to away fans in the Champions League...
