The idea that shady American/British business practices is even touching the scale of the oil tycoons who use actual migrants on no wages and kill people is so fucking disingenuous and gross

It’s also insane and very disingenuous to compare American businessmen like bezos to the oil barons and middle eastern regimes who are not “paying slave wages” but genuinely not paying any wages and activly killing minorities

So you’re saying people shouldn’t just be penalized for the choices of their government, but should also be penalized simply if they live in a democracy.

I can’t even begin to wrap my head around how stupid an argument that is.

It's so nice to see the tide finally starting to turn on this. It was obviously going to happen this year after the massive criticism they got for banning them last year. This along with the IOC giving a lot of support to the Russian athletes is a really good sign that most of the world is moving on from the stupid decision to discriminate against athletes because of the country they're from.

I just find it really odd that this whole thing seems completely directed at state owned clubs a la NUFC. But is this not something that the government had a say in when the saudis took over the club last january?
