Nope. The Saudis own it now. The mags are just allowed to visit. Anyone who believes the Saudis think their newly bought fan base are jolly good chaps and chapesses is living in a fools paradise. They are and always will be Kuffar, infidels. Tolerated as long as they serve a purpose.

Moral outrage (mock or otherwise) aside the main point is that football fans do not get to choose their owners. Fair comment.

They do get to not wilfully and gleefully carry out their sports washing for them though - dancing around with their flag and flooding social media with pro Saudi propaganda.

This stance would seem fair IF they hadn't spend 14 years pontificating and protesting over Mike Ashley, using his work practices as a stick to beat him with. The morals your willing to bend and the lies you tell yourself to justify it.

This is correct. However, fans can decide to support said owners or not.

I know like other Sunderland supporters that the mags don’t have any kind of moral compass and breathtaking hypocrisy is their forte, but I was genuinely shocked to learn their LGBT group aren’t fully against this. Most gay folks I know are intelligent and aware, also quite militant in some respects. I guess even gay mags are still mags.

As much as I agree with this, I'd like to point out that the majority of countries that criminalise homosexuality are in a certain continent, so in the interests of consistency, we'll be boycotting any player that chooses to represent those nations?

Although I accept that playing for a country is a world of difference between being a Crown Prince of one!

I have to say there are also quite a few of my facebook contacts who are normally hardline socialists seemingly finding it very easy to ignore the human rights issues.
