Looks like it. I'll probably watch the world cup as well. I'm the perfect victim for sportswashing. Watched anthony joshua fighting in saudi arabia as well. I've watched PSG games. I've watched Man City Games. I watched the 2018 world cup. I watched Liverpool win the world club cup as well.
I watched the Beijing Olympics, watched the sochi winter Olympics.
Probably many others. Plenty events I've watched and enjoyed which were held in places with poor reputations with events held which intended to show the hosts in a favourable light.
Guess I'm just unique in loving sportswashing events.

Because i can divorce the actions of the owners from the club. The club existed before them owning it. It'll exist after them.
As i said a few pages ago, my old man has supported Newcastle over 70 years. He's never supported the actions of Saudi Arabia, whether that's the war against Yemen, or forbidding women from driving (although the way my mother drove, I'm not so sure), stonings, capital punishment or whatever else. For about 70 years he just supported Newcastle United. He still does. It doesn't mean since October 2021 he is a terrorist sympathiser or hates Yemen or any of that.

People support their club, through generations of their family. They can disagree with the owners while still wanting the club to do well.
You don't have to renounce your support of the club if you don't like the owners.

But a majority of your fans, it seems to me, are fawning over the Saudis, they're defending them, and their actions, at every turn.

Mate you’re wasting time. Just enjoy the current good times and hopefully what’s to come.

You're dead wrong. You have to be the moral compass with this. You've got to give up watching the club you've supported since a kid. Never mind that the government is happy to sell them weapons, or that people are happy to use their fuel, or that people are happy to go and work over there. No, now that they have taken over this lots rivals and loads on here have been having a hissy fit for six months you have got to do something about something over which you have no control.

Irrelevant. An illegal owner buying a few trophies with bloody hands. Who gives a fuck?

I don't think I'm sportswashed. I'm aware of the situations in those countries. The fact I've pointed out numerous instances of attempts at sportswashing whilst even being aware of what it is shows that. The rubes these people want are ones who don't see it for what it is. But if you enjoy saying it and want to think i am so be it. I like every other who will watch the 2022 world cup or who watched the 2018 world cup or any other event I listed is party to sportswashing.
Or maybe.
Just maybe.
We can enjoy the event without agreeing with the politics of the host or owners lf the event/entity
