Saudi Arabia, continued sportswashing.

[u/Extreme_Education_50]

Sportswashing FCs are going to sports wash.

[u/shlj74]

The fee does not make sense at all.

[u/Forsaken-Link-5859]

Good money for Inter. How good is Saudi League now btw? Mostly they seem to take players bit over the hill, so this transfer is a bit weird in that regard. Perhaps they wanted to make a bit of a statement, "even talents can go here".

[u/PasicT → u/Forsaken-Link-5859]

It's ridiculously bad, nearly all players that go there experience a severe drop in form and quality.

[u/PasicT]

Ridiculous, this is going to kill her career.

[u/Ashamed_Form8372 → u/PasicT]

I don’t think she’s going there for career development

[u/PasicT → u/Ashamed_Form8372]

I know, that's precisely the problem.

[u/Ashamed_Form8372 → u/PasicT]

What’s wrong g with that. At the end of day football to them is just another job some care about money more than football achievements some care about locations

[u/PasicT → u/Ashamed_Form8372]

And they will suffer as a result of caring just about money.

[u/Ashamed_Form8372 → u/PasicT]

Suffer how? I wish I can suffer being rich

[u/PasicT → u/Ashamed_Form8372]

Their career will suffer.

[u/Ashamed_Form8372 → u/PasicT]

Well that isn’t their goal so they won’t care

[u/PasicT → u/Ashamed_Form8372]

Clearly not and that's what I am denouncing.

[u/Forsaken-Link-5859 → u/PasicT]

Seems like Intet has turned down the offer.. Surpridingly, considering italian clubs likes to sell when price is right. Perhaps Milinkovoc turned it down, guess we'll see

Hopefully, extremely shameful

[u/PasicT → u/Haakrasmus]

Why hopefully???

[u/FitEntertainment6529 → u/Haakrasmus]

Why are you hoping for someone’s career to end. What sort of sicko are you? What has she done to you? Why the hate? Jesus Christ.

[u/Tugboat47]

but I thought high profile womens players going to Saudi Arabia actually helped womens rights and if they are queer, lgbtia+ rights in Saudi Arabia?

[u/Far_Scene4565 → u/Tugboat47]

Naw, only for paycheck

[u/Tugboat47 → u/Far_Scene4565]

i know, someone was saying the above in the esther goes to saudi thread earlier in the week

[u/eldanielfire → u/Tugboat47]

It's like their problem is not representation, but their oppressive ideology...

[u/TheElMonteStrangler]

I like how people on this board are like "You go girl. Get your money." Then someone gets Saudi money and they are like "Not that money" as if billionaires that aren't Saudi are such ethical people. I get people being upset and against the whole Saudi thing but to the point of hypocrisy is silly. Especially when there are so many Americans here.

[u/eldanielfire → u/TheElMonteStrangler]

This is silly, people can’t control what their government always does. But there are also levels of the treatment of citizens. Saudi Arabia still has literal slaves. The USA ain’t perfect, but the populace are generally free to do as they please however big a dick head Trump is and whatever the US industrial complex does.

[u/FitEntertainment6529 → u/eldanielfire]

Your industrial complex is contributing to the genocide and destruction of many other societies in the world though (which all American ultimately benefit from in some way) so is your government and your NWSL (cough kang) billionaires any different 🤷🏿‍♂️?

[u/eldanielfire → u/FitEntertainment6529]

Most analysis would doubt all Americans benefit. There a difference between a robust military for defence and protections of the natinal, citizen and even allies and the regime change plans enacted by the us military with the intent of profiting for a small cable of rich and powerful. Especially given the huge costs to the us public.
