I have never ever seen any article calling out the middle east investment in horseracing, not one jot, and yet it wouldn't exist without it. Are all of our detractors not aware of this?

That's the point isnt, why doesnt horse racing get called out ? Is it because it's a rich persons sport ?

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 !

I often remind bitter rival fans that an American cartel is running the Premier League. Some of these bitters can’t understand how the American owners could operate according to common interests because the said owners aren’t Arab.

If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.

That's an absolutely shocking post, are you really saying that the rich MSM owners censor what their morally outraged journalists write? You should be flogged and then tarred and feathered you bloody peasant. All of your turnips should be confiscated to boot.

LACK OF CIVIC LEADERSHIP HAS ENABLED MANCHESTER AND NEWCASTLE SPORTSWASHING PROJECTS​


A new report published today finds that political leaders in Manchester and Newcastle have not only declined multiple opportunities to use their positions of influence to express criticism of serious and systematic human rights abuses in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, but have effectively assisted these two deeply abusive and profoundly anti-democratic states’ efforts to set up ‘soft power enclaves’ in cities with proud histories of protest and dissent.

I guess it's easy to pontificate from a position of wealth (all built on oil extraction). The Western world would be in acute shock if we cut all ties with them and eliminated everything they had to offer. We should always be open to business and dialogue with EVERY country (hate the embargoes, they only hurt normal people - human rights abuse).

I wonder how much of the equipment they use to broadcast their shite comes from China? Which as we all know has an impeccable record on human rights.
