In this thread “MuH aMErICa”
I like America-bashing as no other when it comes to football but it’s a ridiculous statement in this context. The US government isn’t active in sportswashing.
[edit] and now in this thread: several Americans trying to convince me the US does do sportswashing because army and navy have sport teams. Dear Americans, of course I was talking within the context of the premier league. This thread is about that. I shouldn’t have to explain that but here we are.

Both clubs not owned by countries (or investment funds directly tied to countries leaders).

Reminds me of China where the great CCP let the KMT and local warlords do all the fighting against the Japanese in WWII only to backstab them when the war was basically won and then “win” the civil war. It’s a very effective tactic.

Hitler did speak English. Conversational level, absolutely not fluently, but still.

It literally is, Kipyokei is banned for this exact reason. Anyone could win marathons this way.

Reply to comment by BeKindBabies in Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United have agreed to part ways by isanyonethere10
You are completely correct - if you don’t read my comment at all CR7 is indeed still top tier and nuance is bullshit.

It’s of course a bit more nuanced than what the comment you reacted on said - but it’s also more nuanced than what you say. CR7 missed a lot of pre season because of family issues - understandable but not convenient when you have a new manager that wants to implement a new playing style. This wouldn’t have been any issue with Ronaldo from say 2010 to 2018 but current Ronaldo isn’t able to catch up as easily anymore. From that perspective he’s not absolute top tier anymore.
I would really be curious to see an alternate universe where CR7 showed up for first training under Ten Hag fully fit and mentally charged to go.

Reply to Fans criticize Djokovic after a video of his physio mixing him a drink in the stands, with other team members blocking the camera's view goes viral by SoggyConclusion4674
I don’t like Djokovic but surely, if he was doing something illegal, they wouldn’t do it so openly?

Is the US sportswashing within the context of the premier League?
