Between this and the LIV thing I just don’t understand what the Saudi’s are doing


Buying there way into acceptance of their funds so that they are normalized, and they can get their tentacles into ownership groups in the US (NFL, NBA, MLB etc)

This makes sense. They are throwing unbelievable amounts of money at coaches and players from the Premier League
<------ The club I follow is losing our talisman player, a prolific goalscorer and club legend, to a Saudi club. It's probably going to happen today, although the player is in the US right now. Our coach just turned down a second offer, of 40,ooo,ooo Euro as well.

It's the suddenness of all this that's really harrowing as it upsets the balance of chemistry in teams. We know Ronaldo went after the World Cup, but he is an absolute shadow of himself. But as soon as the season ended, we have these exorbitant offers seemingly coming in blindsidely.

I’m just trying to boost my post count so they consider poaching me to come post exclusively on CamelDroppings.

It will be a struggle at first trying to post jokes and gifs without shared cultural references, but it will be nice to post in a less anti-semetic environment for once.
