Sportswashing is a made up word, so what's your definition?

[give it to gordon]

Sportswashing is buying a sports franchise in the US, bribing and cheating and blackmailing influential figures within the game and selling information to raise your own betting stake. Football $pells Guarantee$, or FSG for short, you even get free laundry too.

I would say buying a football club in England than


"bribing and cheating and blackmailing influential figures within the game and selling information to raise your own betting stake. Football $pells Guarantee$, or FSG for short, you even get free laundry too."

Biggest threat to our game are American owners.

I was literally just thinking about making our own term up to describe what they are doing.

Sportsblagging?
Cartelwashing?

'Sportswashing' is a brilliant hypocrisy detector. I'd guess that 95% of UK residents who complain about Saudi Arabia's human rights record would neither know nor care about it if not for our ownership.

If the plan from our owners was actually to improve the western perception of the country, safe to say it is going fucking terribly.

Good old Miguel has written (yet another) article on sportwashing & having read the article & found it an interesting read, it’s thrown up more questions than answers for me. It mentions that sportswashing has no exact definition ie, it’s a made up word, which we all already knew.

What would your definition be?

Bullshitting from a no-mark cartel shill.

Another sky sports Sunday morning another one talking about Newcastle and city owners maybe they talk about all owners especially American owners

It means that the third rate hack has just seen his preferred team get a well-deserved thumping from The Good Sheikh's Chosen Ones, is choking on his spam muffin, and can't think to write about the quality of the football he's just seen. Instead, he kicks out and chooses vocabulary the use of which the RDAHMeedya normally award the Arsene Wenger Prize for Investigative Journalism.

It’s business. Any sports club not owned by a non profit association of its fans has long range plans to leverage a brand across multiple ventures to maximize profits. The implication of the word “sportswashing” is that the rest of the brand is evil and illegal but lucrative, and so the sports part of the business can lose unlimited money to keep the evil part going. As if it’s a bad laundromat losing millions a week but turning drug deals into bankable cash. The reality is that the people using it have super selective application of what they consider evil.. which seems to correlate to darker skinned foreigners that blinds them from objective analysis of whether the sports investment was actually just sound business and whether the club is run as a benefit to the community.

Yeah, we have American owners too. The biggest threat to the game is the kind of corruption that leads to Qatar winning a World Cup that they can hold during the season… or super leagues that separate from grass roots teams.

The fucking epitome of Sportswashing is the British media and they way they treat Liverpool FC and their fanbase.
