The psychology of Sportswashing (part one)

Great video, my friend. Governing sports bodies need oversight and accountability for the consequences of their choices.

FIFA didn’t award the World Cup to Qatar they sold it to them and the whole thing came out years later and they’re still having it there !!?!? Corruption and greed is the only reason this is a go

Great video. Sportswashing arguably goes back to the Roman Empire and the Colosseum.

The better question is why do people keep watching and patronizing Sportswashing? Sports betting is another juggernaut that will ultimately bankrupt many who can least afford it.
