I agree it doesn't but I think he was just pointing out America has moral issues just like the human rights in certain countries. Neither has anything to do with football but one is often used by the press to downgrade and tarnish a clubs reputation and the other is ignored to maintain clubs outlook as whiter than white.

Agree, wholeheartedly.

He got kicked out? Any idea why?

I think it was due to HRW's support of a group, Al Islah, that was accused of being part of the Muslim Brotherhood and a large number of its alleged members were on trial in the UAE.

How the United Arab Emirates’ broad definition of ‘extremism’ has impacted regional politics since 2011.

The above report is of course from Qatar's Al Jazeera, so has to be read in context.

It was the same in the 80s with the apartheid sporting boycott of S Africa, golfers seemed to be exempt.

That’s because golf isn’t a team sport.

Ryder Cup?

Ryder Cup?

Not relevant - USA vs Europe doesn’t include South Africa.

I was simply replying to golf isn’t a team sport, missing your point re South Africa

Sorry the original question was about apartheid. My bad.

Thoughts on this narrative?

fuck them.

This is new football economy show I saw on YouTube. It’s lost credibility when the expert was shit talking the club saying we are not the biggest brand and if he went to part of world where no one heard of us they will know Liverpool, Man U, Barca and Real Madrid.

It took a turn about our treble win not being recognised because of the breaches.

Does anyone believe this? This first time I have seen this narrative being pushed in this way. Haters say things but that haters but this is something else.

YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

Thoughts on this narrative?

Rather not read it. Any positive clips you can post?

It's odd how the Americans dont get called out for sportswashing.


America own most of the uk press/media and are sportswashing on a daily basis.

you answered your own question tbh

Are City ahead in the digital multiverse too?

BBC saying Burnley’s James Trafford!

BBC saying Burnley’s James Trafford!

Lol. I saw that and my first thought was… Oh shit, that’ll be on Bluemoon’s media thread before they’ve gone to the weather forecast.

 

[Fordyboy46]

BBC saying Burnley’s James Trafford!

Of course Salford rag media would say that even if there's no official announcement yet. Wouldn't like to give any more credit to City would they, this past couple of months has destroyed them, lol

 

[LongsightM13]

So many rags in the media it’s untrue. Also an infinite amount of plastics in Ireland not taken kindly to our success!

Brewin is a rag who writes for the guardian, enough said

This Hector Garcia jerk off pops up with a new story about City every day each more patently ridiculous than the previous day's one. It's absolutely embarrassing that someone would post the utter garbage this human piece of shit posts day in and day out. I guess he thinks by creating some idiotic name like El Futbolero he's actually fooling anyone. Then he puts some crap about him having a BS in sports writing in his bio. A complete buffoon with an obvious hatred of City. I'm not a twitter guy but I would bet he is. Just for shits and giggles I may have to ask my son and his friends to harass and abuse this prick on there...

He may seem thick, but, clicking on it probably makes him a hell of a lot of money.

Looks like YouTube is the new angle of attack for the Jealous wankers in the press and of other teams.
Wouldn't surprise me if the WhatsApp group on twitter had their grubby mits on these videos or at least had some input to them.
Could it be that the usual crew on twitter have suddenly realised their rinse/repeating the same old shite is falling on deaf ears as it's so repetitive and are targeting these clowns on YouTube.

I never click on his site. Whenever you click google Man City his dumb articles are there. I know he's an a hole just from the headline...

It's odd how the Americans dont get called out for sportswashing.

Americans have the right to shot each other.
Black lives matter started in America .
American still has huge area of racism and lots live in slum areas.
American was slow to act when Mississippi was hit by hurricane.
American are quick to invade of country's they dont agree with.
American is quick to demand someone is sent to America to face trial. But wont send Americans back to other countries to face trail.
Americans think Hollywood war films are truth to life and it was just them fighting the bad guys.
Lots of Americans are very insular and never leave America.

Americans are now paying football clubs and will turn it into a closed shop. Even little Gillingham is now American owned.

America own most of the uk press/media and are sportswashing on a daily basis.

If we arent careful we will become an America State and another star on the flag !
