This is the standard of the Saudi league.

These multi-million players didn't go there for the quality of the football.

This clip is embarrassing.

Environmentalism is one of the core reasons why I ride, which is both transport and sport. I make a much bigger deal out of living in LA without a car for 10 years than my PhD. When cycling becomes a high emission activity, it just sounds like blasphemy. Bravo to the protesters against sportswashing and greenwashing! road.cc/content/feature/cyclin

Não está tudo ainda farto de ?
China, Rússia, Qatar e agora Arábia Saudita. Quem ainda seguir desportos depois disto faz parte do problema.

Infuriated after being blindsided by the Tour’s pact w/ ’s sovereign wealth fund, a band of leading golfers has won a series of concessions from the beleaguered circuit’s commissioner — including the elevation of to the tour’s board — in a star-driven rebuke of the tour.

Saudi money could be headed to tennis next. Is it about sportswashing, women's rights or both? - ABC News

>The common denominator in all of this?

“Money talks in our world right now,” said 2022 French Open semifinalist Daria Kasatkina, who came out as gay last year.

4x Chelsea players off to Saudia Arabia? It's almost as if they're only playing for the money...

As mundane as were, were careless in defence (in the second half) and wasteful up front. The better team won the for sure.

However, ultimately, the real winners were not any players or any fans but oil-based billionaires and their
tactics.

The real loser was fair play and in general. Probably fitting that the spectacle was poor.

Så Saudi Arabien med prins Mohammed bin Salman i spetsen, köper alltså loss PGA Tour och DP World Tour (fd. European Tour) för massor med $ miljarder, och lovar än mer finansiering åren som kommer.
Men har hittills inte lagt en enda cent på den internationella damgolfen.
Talande.

I'm not interesting in seeing another fawning news article about 'Man City' and 'Pep Guardiola' and how amazing they are. I refuse to give any plaudits to a sports-washing project disguised as a football team, no matter what they do (or don't do) on the pitch.

No, this isn't 'jealousy' because I don't care enough about any team for that. I only care about the state of the game as a whole.

Sports-washing has killed football for casual fans.
