    Don't talk like you don't know what sportswashing is... If you don't care about those problems they have you should just stay quiet and get paid, you just make yourself look ****** now

    People just invent new words and keep repeating them over and over until they get equated with other words like TWERFS, Anti-Semitic etc.
    This is the first I hear of that word.

    Even Sports Illustrated says it




    This is no different from the now over 100 sexual identification. Three years ago, the number was 43.

      The US has a long history of human right abuse, going back decades. Not once did anyone boycott the US.
      Russia invaded Ukraine and everyone is talking about boycotting Russia and Russian athletes.

      The US invaded Iraq, all those that are now unhinged over boycotting Russia are/were dead silent.

      The US is all over African threatening African leaders with consequences for gay rights. Meanwhile, South Africa legalized gay marriage in 2006 while the US did it in 2015. At that time South Africa didn’t try to boycott or threaten the US.

        https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...90787.html?amp

        The phrase “woke” and to “stay woke” is not new — it began appearing in the 1940s and was first used by African Americans to “literally mean becoming woken up or sensitised to issues of justice”, says linguist and lexicographer Tony Thorne.

          Perhaps AJ needs to attend the Friday afternoon public beheadings to get a taste of the real Saudi Arabia.

            Yeah, Joshua, the guy with a view on supporting black businesses, has no view on human rights. Why would he?

              Of course he won't because he takes the money instead of the morals. Not very surprised, as I have said before, once AJ was slurping on the ******s in the middle-east in Ruiz 2 I knew what it was. "Bismillah" he said. He will be playing for the home team, never trust these guys.

                Hypocrites in the chat! If any of your asses own an iPhone, Nikes, or 90% of what’s in your house today you support child and slave labor!

                This is why I chose to say nothing concerning this topic. Get off your phuking soap boxes.

                  That doesn't mean you stop pointing out injustices in Saudi Arabia. You point them out in America too.

                    You are correct. I am not going to dispute that. Any other country can point out any kind of global injustice, however, the US and Americans on the other hand need to shut up. I am speaking as an American of course.
                    Saudi Arabia could execute gays or stop women from driving or not hold fair elections, calling for a boycott is super hypocritical because the same things happen in the US and we don’t seem to be too concerned.
                    I am always more than happy to cite sources/facts and proof of the similarities between the US and Saudi Arabia.
