The people who sign off on the signing of Dan Burn, sign off on the persecution of gay people as well. NUFC is part of that machine, specifically part of the PR department. You know this. You're all happily complicit.

No one who supports Newcastle and condemns the Saudi human rights record are complicit in their actions. Newcastle United and middle eastern culture are not the same thing. Just like when Ashley was drawing up more zero hour contracts while puking in a fireplace, supporting Newcastle didn't make anyone complicit in those actions either.

I agree that those Newcastle fans who defend the record and culture of Saudi Arabia are though. That's the sports washing aspect of it. They see a legitimate criticism of the owner's culture as an attack on the club. It isn't. Unfortunately these people are too thick to understand the difference

From the article:


Newcastle are believed to have spoken to Saint-Maximin’s camp about potentially upgrading his deal at some stage, but they are also thought to have warned them that he must demonstrate he warrants an increased pay packet.

His habit of forgetting rules for general squad standards around the training ground continues to irritate and he must make an effort to better adhere to them. For example, it has been reiterated to Saint-Maximin that he must stop parking his car in an awkward spot and instead use a designated bay at Benton.

Agree with this, tbh.

Putting Ashley’s zero hour contracts alongside the Saudi’s human rights was a bit sportswashy-ish, mind.

You do know your club is owned by the saudi state. Of course you are complicit.The only thing to do to not be, would be to withdraw support, but you are too lilly livered for that. Or, more likely Iimho, you just couldn't give a shit, because now you can sign superstars like Chris Wood. You even defend them all the time, making it even worse

Newcastle United are owned by KSA and are part of a global PR effort to improve their global image via the entertainment industry

Saying “I don’t like them” doesn’t give you moral immunity if you continue to support NUFC because one is an extension of the other.

Except it's not though, is it? Because the club are investing in the women's team, speaking out about discrimination in football etc.

That directly contradicts the Saudi culture. Look how pissed off the Saudis on Twitter get when the club posts something along those lines. I'm glad it upsets them
