There’s an element of what Jordan Peterson calls “the Auschwitz Prison Guard” problem, in all of this.
I’m sitting here wondering whether or not I could just overlook the murders etc, for a bigger transfer budget, if it was us.
The truth is I don’t know. I would like to think that I’d have enough moral backbone to be appalled at the idea of Sunderland being in this kind of ownership; but I know a lot of mags who are very decent people, and they seem determined to turn a blind eye etc. It’s human nature to only see the story you want to see. I’ve got little doubt that if it was us, most Sunderland supporters would be doing the same “selective blindness” routine.
