My sport yearns to be free from sports washing, billionaires, venture capital, nation-states, corruption….

    It's astonishing to me how every sports league and pro athlete are just rolling over and showing their bellies to the House of Saud.

      I follow boxing and everyone has to call the Saudi that is heading their boxing promotion, "His Excellency". Even stupid fans on boxing forums call him "His Excellency" instead of his name Turki Al Ahshiek or whatever. So much bootlicking even from fans who aren't getting paid to do so ugh..
