#Qatargate #Qatar2022 Bene, oggi trattiamo un discorso molto delicato,ma non si può ignorare.Secondo noi tutti parlano del mondiale più bello perchè basta un pallone che gira per dimenticare il sangue versato per arrivare a quel pallone,quando in realtà ci sono cose gravi.

La notizia di oggi sono i video della sorveglianza che ipotizzano il passaggio di soldi per comprare i voti della commissione europea per dire che il Qatar stava facendo passi avandi nel rispetto dei lavoratori (scusateci se non siamo perfetti).

Ma perchè devono comprare voti se rispettano veramente i lavoratori? Semplice secondo noi, perchè hanno sfruttato migliaia di immagriti per costruire gli stadi,tanto tutti sanno che "il popolo è stupido e con un pallone dimentica tutto". #sportwashing

As a lifelong #NUFC fan whose job at @amnesty includes the link between sport and #humanrights, I thought I’d share a few thoughts about the impending Saudi takeover of my club. Mixing the personal and professional rarely works, but here goes… #NUFCTakeover
First, any fan can tell you that a large part of their soul aches for change at #NUFC. I first went to St James’ Pk when I was 7, grew up going to matches in the Keegan era, & revelled in Sir Bobby. I desperately miss Asprilla v Barcelona, Albert v Man U or Griffin v Juve.
The Ashley years have been grim. It’s not just the relegations, the underinvestment, or hiring Joe Kinnear twice. It’s the treatment of Keegan & Gutierrez. The surrender of hope & joy. Becoming a Sports Direct commodity. The feeling our club is grubby and we don’t mean anything.
