As he goes to Primark to pick up his summer wardrobe and supports a club that freely accepts vast amounts of money from SA, UAE, and China, whilst ignoring the horrible things our government has done and is doing abroad in the name of security and economic prosperity.

Plus money from Iran via their money laundering sponsors Standard Chartered .
 
It's hilarious how many of them have become experts on human rights issues in the middle east all of a sudden, I wonder what prompted it.

‘Focused’ what the fuck are you talking about.
You scored 14 offside goals; you were gifted 8 points by goalkeeping errors, you cheated Newcastle and scored from that dive. Mahrez’s Penalty miss. There’s at least 13 points there. You were the luckiest side I’ve ever seen. Welcome to VAR

Even taking the luck out of the equation, Liverpool have been over performing large parts of the season. It will be hard to get that amount of points two seasons in a row, but most likely Man C will.

As many have pointed out America has possibly the worst human rights records possible.
And from a family who benefitted sadly i know that most of the main streets in Liverpool city centre are named after slave trading families. They care not one iota about human rights they are just using it as a tool to attack others. In much the same way the 2 glasgow teams use the Palestinian /Isrseli conflict.

Some fans would probably say I am just bitter as a Liverpool fan when I write this. They are free to do that, but it does not make this less true. We need to address this. The elephant in the room. And that is that a team, backed by money from a country with slavery, racism and terrible human rights records, have just one the league, and they are using this as a propaganda machine.

Let me make this clear. Almost no team in the world is on the high ground here. I am just writing this here to maybe get some focus on this again. It sickens me all the praise this team is getting, without even problematize how the club has become what it is.

The owners of Manchester City have built up their riches on the back of exploitation of migrant workers, that has a structural racism backed into it. Addition to that, the United Arabs Emirates is being criticized regularly for their unfair trails, lack of freedom of expression, torture, and discrimination against women.

One example of this, is for example the trafficking of children as used for jockeys. I first read about this in an article by Nicholas McGeehan (http://www.josimar.no/artikler/the-men-behind-manchester-city-the-dark-side/5040/) in which he writes about the leisure activity of the royal family behind Manchester City. Camel racing, with children as jockeys. As he writes:

“Children who spoke to Anti-Slavery International said that they were underfed to keep their weight down, forced to work long hours with either minimal or no pay, and beaten. UNICEF reported that some children were also sexually abused. Save the Children described harrowing stories of children stung by scorpions while they tried to sleep, children bitten in the face by camels as they posed for photos with victorious sheikhs, children given electric shocks for stealing dates intended for the camels, and child jockeys trampled and left untreated in the backs of vans. “


This year, we have seen something fantastic, and that is players speaking up against racism in football. I really hope that this continues, and that we start addressing other issues here as well.

For me, owners like the owners of Manchester City should not be allowed to buy a club that is loved by so many, and then use it as a propaganda machine. They should be thrown out of this sport. Football was and is the escape for many workers from their daily life, and to enjoy something beautiful. Our joy however should not be built on the exploitation of other workers, and other horrible acts of human rights violation.

But are we doing anything? No. We are just all saying that this is something we can’t do anything about. We pay the tickets and we praise the football and turn the blind eye towards the uncomfortable.

It’s fecking sickening.

Wasn't Liverpool built on "slavery, racism and terrible human rights"? - there is even a museum on Albert Dock all about it!
 
Can somebody post this on the RAWK, Manchester City thread, please

He isn’t bored yet.

Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of Abu Dhabi Executive Council, also congratulated his brother on the achievement. "With His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed at the helm, Manchester City has become a great success story," Sheikh Hazza said.

Hey dippers!!!
Fed up with ‘dirty oil money???
Use new improved ‘standard chartered’ for squeaky clean freshly laundered dosh!!
Standard chartered removes those nasty grubby stains caused by contact with rogue states, organised criminal gangs, and terrorist groups, leaving you with a lovely shiny sense of self-satisfaction!!
BANG.... and the morals have gone!

I know 3 Liverpool fans closely and all 3 have congratulated me and are just looking forward to the CL final.

They taken it very well.

I don’t think RAWK reflects the wider Scouse community.

My experience as well, in a way I blame the media for ramping up their expectations so much.
I think the media believed their own biased publicity as City dared to party poop their 12 page Pool features. Quite inconsiderate of us really but perhaps a lesson to all that City are made of sterner stuff than just magnificent football, .
