Professional sports + human rights violations being bankrolled = the epitome of shit I hate

Looking at the footballers I mean that’s so much money nasty oil money but they already got so much other money before like how are Crispy and Leo not billionaires?

I know Federer basically sold the Laver Cup to the Saudis too but he doesn’t get any crap for it. And Nadal is a Saudi Arabia tennis ambassador lmao bc there’s great ~potential~ for tennis there mhmmm who agrees WTA?

Also Ronaldo is literally a rapist, Neymar tried to get his rapist buddy out of jail and Benzema tried to extort a teammate over a sex tape. Yet they’re all richer than gods

I thought Haaland was the best football player currently with Mbappé? it's weird one is in the list and the other not

Anyway, nobody should win this much money, it's absurd, unethical, etc etc

i would not put Haaland up there as best footballer, not even top 5 currently. best striker perhaps? and even then id put Kane over him this season. i think hes up for the golden boot in the prem but if i were to choose Man City's best player in the last year id prob choose Foden and the year prior was prob KDB. hes been winning with Man City since he got there, but its not like hes been there for a long time. and its somewhat more a testament of Man City as a team than him specifically.

lol if mbappe is there after this season low key should also Haaland

[trynabme]

Who are 5 players better than Haaland?

gross

I know this appears to be per year , Shohei Ohtani's $700m deal with the Dodgers is the biggest sports contract overall of all time
