Fußball-Profiliga in Saudi-Arabien
Von Alina Schwermer
Die Profiliga Saudi-Arabiens (SPL) stellt zur EM 2024 so viele Spieler wie keine andere außereuropäische Liga. Ein Propagandamittel zum richtigen Zeitpunkt.

Von Johannes Kopp
In Portugal schauen alle auf einen älteren Kicker aus der saudischen Profiliga: Das Team gruppiert sich um Cristiano Ronaldo.
Human Rights Watch
Forget Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist brutally murdered in a Saudi consulate, and all his colleagues jailed, censored or harassed in Saudi Arabia; don’t think about women’s and LGBT rights in the kingdom; and ignore the mass killings of migrants along the Saudi border with Yemen. Look, there, Saudi Arabia is hosting the Super Cup, Inter Milan, Real Madrid! It’s the country of Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, not repression and rampant human rights abuses.

This is how “sportswashing” works: laundering a government’s reputation by hosting major sport events that attract widespread, positive media attention, while diverting it away from the hosts abuses. Saudi Arabia has been doing that for years and intends to continue doing so. (...)
In May, Saudi human rights defenders, activists, and intellectuals issued “A People’s Vision for Reform in Saudi Arabia”, a document articulating a series of principles and reforms that should serve as the foundation of a rights-respecting Saudi Arabia. Their requests included the release of all political prisoners, the respect of the rights to freedom of expression and of association, upholding the rights of women, migrants, and religious minorities, the abolition of torture and death penalty, a reform of the justice system, and a redistribution of the country’s wealth.
But instead of complying with their human rights obligations and starting a dialogue with civil society actors, Saudi authorities have repressed every form of dissent. (...)
Swamped with debt, European football risks making itself a well-paid puppet of the Saudi propaganda machine. (...)

This is how disgusting money driven celebrity looks like.
But hey, the Shari laws of Saudi regime was modified to allow him to love with his unmarried partner.
Something that would put Saudi citizens under the royal sword of beheading and crucifixion for immoral activities.
Portugals Kapitän in Saudi-Arabien
Der Fußball schreibt in diesen Tagen wunderbare Geschichten. Sie spielen in Saudi-Arabien und handeln von einem, der gar nicht spielt.
Der Wechsel Ronaldos nach Saudi-Arabien belastet nicht nur das Erbe des Portugiesen. Seine Verpflichtung beim Club Al-Nassr und seine späteren Aufgaben haben eine zweite, bedenkliche Ebene, kommentiert Jörg Strohschein.#Fußball #Ronaldo #Superstar #SaudiArabien #AlNassrFC
