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.

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.

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.

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.
