Yes. It's disgraceful.
Why?

The only reason they invest so heavily in sports is to distract from their atrocious human rights records - called "Sportswashing"
Run everything at a massive loss so that people just see them as eccentric billionaires who love propping up sports instead of murdering, torturing, slavers

TF for Bruce Craig.
My interest in the Prem has been waning for a few years now anyway; this would be another hit to my interest; if my club were named, I think Prem would have lost me and I'd have had to find a way of watching Top14 regularly, and actually picking a team, rather than having 2-3 I kinda keep an eye on.

I think I actually would start supporting Munster or Leinster if it happens tbh
On the contrary....i just wonder if people understand how much this group are involved in most other aspects of peoples lives...??
People dont seem to mind that...
And yet they have huge investments in most other aspects of peoples lives yet noone seems to mind that...?

People know but you can't control most of those aspect on the whole.
Well they can stop using Starbucks or Facebook etc etc...but they dont.

Depends who "they" is. Can honestly say I've never bought a Starbucks and while I technically have a Facebook account I haven't really used it since about 2018.

Let's be real would you be defending it if it was Leicester, Saints, Sarries and Gloucester
Facebook and Starbucks were merely two examples...they invest heavily in pretty much every aspect of our lives. Thats the point im trying to make...

I get your point but ultimately it takes itself apart. If the Saudis are involved in everything then we can't boycott everything that they're involved in can we, as at a point we've still got to be able to function, travel, etc.
But that doesn't mean we should like that they've got their hands in everything, nor does it mean that we shouldn't take a stance about them getting involved in the things that we absolutely can boycott such as sport/entertainment.
