When we talk about the Saudi league then human rights becomes an issue but when we talk about the premier league and the oil sponsors from Middle East and the oil money, it’s not a deal
Well said, when oligarchs was the owners of clubs it wasn't a problem, when man city literally got transformed it wasn't an issue because the money was being used in England. Now all of sudden it's a massive problem even thought every fan and club wants a sheikh owner
Facts😂😂😂
If you think people weren't talking about it, you weren't paying attention. There was backlash and protests.
I always see people having a problem with Man City’s owners, Newcastle’s owners and PSG owners etc and also the sponsors.
Just because others are bad doesn’t make Saudi Arabian human rights laws better.
@@Applicant357literally no one said that. Its actually the argument you choose to make to justify your hypocrisy. No one ever said the human rights violations of Saudi Arabia is fine. And just like the human rights crimes of one nation and its representative financial corporations are wrong, it's ALSO WRONG to ignore those who welcome financial investments from those same entities and make profits from those who are protected by a government which commits human rights violations.
Yeah bro we also know what France is doing in Africa.
I think you're 56 years late my friend

A dude from France is talking about human rights?
Yep and he’s correct
@@emperorhideyoshi3223and by that standard dear sir, we must also highlight what’s happening now in the middleast, and how the US and UK came into power historically.
@chinaldo10 key word "historically". We're talking about todays world
@@seanvti 😂😂😂😂😂 Damn you and your double standards.. The French stole all the countries of Africa.. The state of France is based on the legacy of African countries.. If what you say is true, why is a thief being held accountable for a theft he committed ten years ago!?
Don’t you even dare saying human rights 😂😂😂
Yeah after we’ve seen recent world events, that stigma towards Arab nations is super void 😂. Plus go back a couple hundred years and tell me what the Western world was doing 💀💀
@chinaldo10 bro u literally just said the Arab countries are a couple hundred years behind Europe 💀
@@chinaldo10You had to go back a few centuries to bring something out, the Arab world is still worse lol
If we were talking about Human Rights issues no one should move to the USA
Say what you want, but the USA does not have a written law that makes being gay punishable by death.
What are you talking about? No one is oppressed based on gender, skin color, or religion.
The US is the most free country in the world. You have no idea what you're talking about.
@@jerejokinen3199free country = the country with the highest crime percentage , saudi and other golf countries are safer , why LGBTQ+ is a human rights issue today ? XD if you are gay , be it in a country where it's allowed , if not , respect the rules and try to live the journey as it is
@@kookoochanel6775 The US doesn't have the highest crime rate in the world. It's not even in the top 50. Stop making things up. But you're right some gulf countries are safer, but that isn't correlated to freedom or human rights.
French man talking abt human rights 😂😂😂
Exactly what I thought Henry is kind of a hypocrite for saying that 😂
Who said he agrees with France’s laws? just because he is French doesn’t mean he is a spokesman for the French government.
@@Applicant357never saw him cry when PSG play or French league teams play
how can you compare France and Saudi Arabia currently?
This logic would mean that a lot of people worldwide cant comment on human rights, if you know your history.
But why would him being french mean he cant comment? Is he in charge of his countries behaviour? Their domestic and foreign policy? No. So this is a nonsense comment.
The hypocrisy of those human rights bs is outrageous
French guy talking about human rights this killing me man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The year we live in is 2023 now if you didn't know.
@@jerejokinen3199so what’s your point?
@@khalid2220 That France has way more human rights than Middle Eastern countries.
NO a man talking about human rights why does an individual have to be saddled with the sins of his forefathers?
@@jerejokinen3199 lmao it doesn't
this comment section is insane. There are no countries on earth that are perfect regarding human rights. That's being said, how can comments put on the same level France, the US, UK and Saudi in terms of human rights. That gap is huge, it is indeniable
Doesn’t give them rights and also last time I checked Saudi has the lowest crime and suicide rate out of all the countries u mentioned I rather live safely then know people who are stupid enough to kill themselves and stab people for watches
Inserting a non-innocent behavior or practice such as LGBTQRSTU++ into human rights is just demolishing the establishment idea of human rights itself. The reason humans rights began to expand is due to the extermination of WWll guess who began WWl+WWll and other huge mass destruction and who took slaves and treated them with neither dignity nor respect and whom treated woman as an object and some western philosopher said that women are uncompleted men. I'll leave it to your imagination of whom are calming to be the free speech welcoming and friendly countries.
Its because anyone who comments that lives in the middle east, and therefore approves of the terrible acts their governments allow because those acts directly benefit them.
Saudi arabia didn't illegally destroy nations saudi arabia didnt kill million of innocent iraqi citizens ruining tens of millions of lives ,
Saudi arabia did not drone bomb afgan chindren and civilians saudi arabia did not go to war with vietnam korea , saudi arabia is not interfering in other countries sovereignty saudi arabia doesnt have aboghraib .
@@ShadowElectricity if saudis are oppressed you wouldn't see them calling out the irony of a french citizen calling for human rights.
A French guy who played in the US talking about human rights. Hmmm
Whats your point? What control does he have over either french or american domestic or foreign policies?
If he was a politician that had some control then you might possibly have a point. But since he doesn't I'd question why you wont debate his point if you don't agree with it?
More interesting is that you believe his opinion isnt valid due to where he comes from, I'm sure there is a word for that 🤔
@@davidkelly499 When we talk about the Saudi league then human rights becomes an issue. When we talked about the World Cup in Qatar then human rights became an issue. Also, you said, "what control does he have over either french or american domestic or foreign policies?", none whatsoever - he can have his opinion, and I can have mine. You critize me, I critized him. I can agree with Thierry that the human rights is an issue in the Middle East, but what I don't agree with is when you speak with such tunnelvision and can't see other major issues. And yeah, as you said, more interesting is that you believe my opinion isn't valid due to me pointing out where he comes from, I'm sure there is a word for that ... 🤔
@@Raza2701 So I never claimed that your opinion isnt valid, you're trying to create something to brush over being wrong.
You are as entitiled to your opinion on anything, as is Thierry Henry or anyone else. It can be wrong as well.
Henry here isnt wrong.
You arent wrong when you pointed out the "tunnel vision" in that he didnt address all human rights violations across the world. But he was specifically asked about Saudi Arabia in this case, so he answered that question. In this instance his nationality is completely irrelevant.
I didnt criticize you, I just pointed out where you were wrong. I questioned the motives behind that, which you also decided to ignore.
Have a nice evening though.
@@Raza2701 Also. I should have added. I agree in your point when you raised the world cup and now the saudi league.
People in places such as the UK, US, France etc should really consider things in their own country before being critical of other countries with different cultures.
It seems all too easy for people in western countries to have a go at countries in the middle east, its lazy and uninformed.
@@davidkelly499 I didn't ignore you, I understand your point, and it looked like you understood mine as well. Of course Thierry Henry can critize anything he like, but as you said in your last comment it's easy to go critize something that isn't in your backyard. Have a good one my friend!
Respect for The King Henry.. Facts!! 🤴💯
Weren't all these players and commentators and TV stations that are going to Saudi Arabia to cash in on the league complaining about human rights a few months ago at the World Cup.
keep your thoughts to yourself Thierry...your a footballer not a politician
I don't understand why people narrate is going to Saudi is bad...it is for money.....Saudi is doing the same thing premiere league is doing for years......the market is inflated bcz of them....just jealousy
They've turned Henry into a Mouth piece 😂😂
Since we are talking about human rights, why are children from religious backgrounds being harassed/forced to take classes that are meant for lgbtq people? This happened this year in canada and USA.
Because being gay is biological, it therefore happens to people from each region of the world regardless of religion, or whether they want to feel that way or not. Following a specific religion is ideological, so it is something people can accept or reject as they learn about the idea. I mean who would choose to be gay in the middle East, and yet there are many gay people there. But no one was yet born adhering to a specific religion.
@@JacquesduPlessis11religion teaches us against gays even christans talks against it u shouldn’t be forced to take it it’s not even human nature so how is it biological for a whit man to say he is a black woman? That’s just impossible
W h a t 💀💀💀

@@edwuncleriii2742 The Gulf States lie in Asia, this is basic geography lad
He wouldn’t say that if he still playing.
French man talking about human rights.
What a joke 😂😂😂
saying a French man can't talk about human rights is absoutely idiotic, considering it was the French that basically invented the concept of human rights.
Saudi Arabia's human rights violations are clearly far more severe than France's and you can not argue otherwise.
Love to Saudi. Europe will be fine, we can be the no2 league
Based Thierry take I like him even more now
They are gone to play a sport and make money not to support lgbt rights
Saudi Arabias human rights problems affect a larger demographic than just the LGBT, you have a point but I also think you're excluding quite a bit
@@markkatrusa3581What's he excluding?
@@comecombat5060 The fact that Saudi still treats it's migrant workers horrifically unless they're rich, athletes or celebrities.
Migrant workers in industries like construction and services are raped, robbed, exploited and killed under the Saudi system which sees workers have their passports taken from them by employers and get trapped without pay.
Of course the money offered is an understandable reason to go there but so is not wanting to support a football industry literally built in blood to entice them.
Lots of footballers are from working class families so it's understandable that they'd consider the implications of selling out for a paycheck at the cost of other people's suffering.
Especially when the quality of football isn't even top tier so they're basically trading potential growth and skill for money.
Good@@jimmyalfonzo
@@jimmyalfonzo Why does this sound fake lol. provide evidences if you could please. I am simply a layman you can say.
Damn lost respect for this guy maybe he should ask Great Britain, France, and other European countries about their history of human rights
We're talking about the present, not the past. If you have to go back centuries to bring up widespread human rights abuse and compare it to a present country, then it's a terrible self report lol
@@lunamoonfang2well said
Human rights😂😂😂
Mr Politician Henry, any Human Rights issues in America?
No, not really.
of course there are some issues but you understand and everyone understands that the situation in saudi arabia is totaly different and can't be compared
@@David-wy3dt
Highest criminal in the world is in USA not in Saudi Arabia, USA killed millions in Iraq, Somali , Afgansatn

There must be a campaign protecting Western history of r@ping other countries for centuries (and today)… comments are sickening, turning such a blind eye …
Jimmy would never leave liverpool because no one made an offer 😂
The amount of deflections from the people in the comments is funny 😂😂😂😂

You're comparing countries with problems and countries of problems.
@@dman1988Yea, America fits the bill quite well 🤣🤣🤣
You can't compare those countries human rights, it's like comparing a paper cut to a beheaing.
@@shoulderescapeFrench has been stealing from Africa neglecting its own citizen's rights yet you ignore all that and allow players to move to league 1?
@@SadiqXFifa As I said the Saudi Arabia has beheadings for innocent people. (LGBTQ)
That is significatly worse than anything that France does today.
Titi, you went to new york when the US had soldiers in the middle east. After decades of having nothing but admiration for you, this is quite the smudge
Exactly.
Yes bro I thought the same thing. One of the best footballer to ever grace the sport and he went out and say this..This is quite the smudge indeed
All these dumbasses in the comments talking about how he’s French so he can’t talk about human right 😂 as if he is responsible for what people in the past did. It doesn’t matter where you come from or your background, facts are facts. You can’t use someone’s ethnicity or background against them just cause they’re stating facts you don’t like. Saudi Arabia is a terrible country in regards to human rights both past and present lol.
he never said he agreed or disagreed with what Saudi Arabia were doing. He just explained why people have a problem with the league and that’s one of the reasons. People need to use critical thinking damn
Europe doesn't make rules for middle east
Ikr
I'm european and i don't care if european football is in danger or not. If you play good football, then i don't care where are you from. Although i can agree on the human rights issue, i cannot unnotice big european clubs being financed by the countries which they blame for human rights violations. European clubs pay huge amount of money to sign players, so i guess they buying their success as well, they're no different.
Henry is gracious. His speeches, his skills. Charming guy.
Henry the Hypocrite First
I’m also happy about Mbappe not choosing the Saudi Pro League. But I understand older players wanting to make a ton of money in Saudi Arabia before retiring. I would’ve done the same.
People can bash religion all they want , but you cant tell me LGBT+qbeuwb army is not a cult / religion also? If i had to pick, a religion that cares about the family unit, or men in thongs dancing in front of kids i know what im picking
As a Muslim I agree with you and I believe Christian’s and Hindus also agree we need to say what’s wrong and this is wrong
Tell me you've never met a queer person without telling me you've never met a queer person
@@hanaekahsai8796 Throughout history, our religions have warred against each other for various reasons, now it’s time for us all to come together and stand firm in the face of this degeneracy.

Big up Saudi 🇸🇦 ❤❤❤
No abtf+ stuff there it's ruining the Sport I love
517 comments and none of them watch saudi league. instead of boasting about why SPL is good league, they instead want to put down people who point out Public Investment Fund. this comment section aged like milk
Mbappe actually did unintentionally saved football
Idc about no community. It’s their land their rules. Don’t go there or follow their league if you don’t like it. Stop trying to impose these crazy ideas and social constructs from our crumbled culture onto other places.
Exactly. Well said.
This comment should be highlighted and taught to every critic
What crumbled culture
💯
Yeah all those crazy ideas from the west, like women able to go to a football game since 2018, that’s crumbled
Finally some logic
Henry you lost your mind
Spot on glad a big name like henri had the balle to say it
He sounds like Hypocrititi.
Respect a religion end of. No one is going to change a religion
No one cares about a stone age ideology.

Lgbt rights is more important than religion
@@hinata8097 lol rights for something that never existed many years ago. A religion has been the same since centuries so no it’s really not
@@kasam2364 Lgbt existed way before any religion and will exist after every religion
Then respecting homosexuality, as you claim, Westerners, is considered forbidden in our true Islamic religion, the religion of truth, which forbids homosexuality, not out of hatred. Rather, this is forbidden in Islam. You must respect this thing without interfering in other matters.
Yet Muslim players and fans will happily wear football tops with betting companies on the front
When Russia hosted the world cup none of you said anything about human rights situation in Russia or the anti LGBT laws. You only open your mouth when it's Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
That isn’t even remotely true. Always the victim
many people said and I think in arabia its much worse than in russia
Suadi arabia and qatar and the gulf countries dont respect lgptq not because they hate them it’s because they are musilms i am from saudi arabia lgbtq is forbidden in islam thats why
Remind me again , about French laws in regards to head scarfs for Muslims
there is no law banning head scarf. you are welcome for the reminder
he is just mad that he didn't get any kind of offer to work there.
Never knew you are allowed to show any s*xual stuff in a football game.
What's the link between your s*xual orientation and kicking a ball?
Because saudi arabia puts queer people in jail?
😂😂😂 Suadi Arabia is the fairest country man, We never heard Black live matters there Islam is Salam
Rather, here, blacks live in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and there is no element in which blacks tend to decrease. Unlike the United States of America and Europe, there is an element in which blacks tend to increase
Europeans are that people who should talk about human rights.
All respect for Thierry gone just like that
France people saying about human rights 😂😂😂😂😂
Best commentators are in Saudi league & now best player too. Don’t hate the game.
It’s literally the worst league in pro football
my local 3rd division american soccer team gets more attendance than half of SPL
Oh Henry. Stop it. Who cares about ABCDE. May be say it’s too hot majority of the year in Saudi
Bro doesn’t leave his basement 😂 more ppl care ab the LGBLT or whatever it’s called over a blood money league
@@Joeysmalls3119I would argue it's the opposite. I only hear people talk about lgbtq online. In reallife nobody cares
@@Joeysmalls3119lmao it’s literally the total opposite, I can tell you watch too much tv and don’t get out at all… more than 95% of the world is against LGBT.
@@derEnzon maybe that's true among people you know, but not for everyone. for a lot of people it would weigh heavy on their conscience whether to take money from a league/government that discriminates so heavily and openly
Whenever we talk about human rights, it is very important for us to know that the definition of human rights shouldn't be based on how other people are living in their country.
What I mean is that when u look at every country, the cultures are different. So, we can not say that because some countries have legalized LGBTQ, other countries should do the same. And if they don't, they are violating human rights.
Every country makes laws based on their cultural beliefs.
As far as I am concerned, no country is innocent when it comes to human rights violations.
It’s more fun to watch the league collapse than watch any of their games
Human rights 😂😂😂😂😂 ... like you have it .. stop stop .. i pee my self
Yeah we do. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, no slavery, women's rights. All these things people like you are afraid off.

You can’t see that if you are French the French have this mentality always “ what you do is wrong and I do always right “
I would be shamed to call out human rights topics to others if I am myself having a black history of violence against humanity
Dude said all this while admitting he went to play in the MLS, when USA has backed coups and bombed half of the planet.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Of course the regime in Saudi Arabia is awful and people should consider it when they decide for their careers, but people shouldn't have double standards
American have deathrow electricity shock chair as death PENALTY its there laws Nd injection of possion inside the body as death penalty its there law...tell me what awful about saudi Arabia law u think is wrong?

HOLLLYYYYYY I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE HUMAN RIGHTS THING OF SAUDI, I SEE WHY IN LIKE HENRY SOO MUCH
Well said Thierry
Hey Henry as a French does the name "Africa" ring a bell?
Lol 😂
A frenchman talking about Human rights, the irony. FOH
🇸🇦✌️❤
“ human & ?!” It’s about football boy 👦
Thierry we love you but please talk only for football. This is your knowledge area.❤❤❤
Honestly no one care, we have many things to do in saudi especially in sport sector,also we are always looking forward and we love football and we wanna see a big players in our league
Saudi Arabia making all the right investments electric cars will soon be a problem for these lot.
If we generalize from an individual to a group... than nobody can talk about nothing because every culture Is guilty of something 🤷🏾
Keep the nonsense going thierry .
For a big fish there is always a bigger fish. Big teams stealing good players from smaller team for years .
Doesn’t matter who goes there that league is dead😂 next man up attitude in Europe.
Cry
Good one King TT
What about TT's own country, France, where the government banned the hijab, I think that also comes under human rights and women's rights, right!!!!!!
Human rights king we love you but common
They didn't utter a single word against Qatar when they hosted FIFA WC!!!! And by the way what's the relation between LGBT and football??
Oh please… TiTi stop the BS
Funny how players going to play in the country that commits human rights crimes is problematic. But a Man City team that is funded by such regimes isn't problematic at all.
Facts.
every country has their rights. one cannot say that everybody should obey and follow their rights.
😂😂😂😂
im sure im one of few who really hate this guy, get a corner henry ffs
If it's about human rights, aren't there more essential and crucial ones than what you do in bed?
I mean is there a freedom of speech? Political freedom? Religious freedom? Or even something BIGGER: the war in Yemen?
Freedom of speech and political freedom are both are aspects of LGBTQ+ people being banned in Saudi Arabia.
Just because he is mentioning the LGBT aspect of Saudi Arabia doesn’t mean he is forgetting the war in Yemen. He can care about more than one thing at a time but he can’t talk about more than one thing at a time.
Now African started to support Europe 😂
i respect who people agree with LGBTQ , otherwise you should respect who people or country didnt agree LGBTQ, because we have different culture or religion,
When a country opens itself to the world, it changes. It will take time, but it will change.
Now ask Thierry Henry if he winces working for a network that receives a lot of funding trough Audi Arabian interests?
And reports on a league financed in part with that money?
We are all hypocrites, the difference is some of us admit it.
kylian saves the day😂😂😂😂kylian didn't go to saudi league because he already making saudi money..really thierry? concern about human right in saudi? and didn't notice same issue on your own country
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The irony
He wanted to be in New York guys it's not the same 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha once oil is irrelevant Saudi Arabia will be obsolete hahahahaha
Thierry Henry, French Guy, played in the US, is talking about human rights? Where are the human rights when France is still acting as a colonial power even though they have no more colonies in Africa? Where are the human rights when thousands of Palestinians are getting killed by Israel? Where were the human rights when the US waged war against Iran because it allegedly had WMDs? Where were the human rights when Syria was being mercilessly attacked by the US? And most importantly, where were the human rights when Hiroshima and Nagasaki got attacked?
Why don't you talk about human rights in America and in Israel, which your Western governments support to kill our people in Gaza? Why is the West more focused on human rights in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which has a clean record in human rights? You must respect the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and do not interfere in matters that do not concern you.
Just focus on your punditry henry, don't let them use you, for crying out loud you are from France 😂😂😂😂.. damn this dude about to ruin everything....
I mean that is not human rights, just common sense
We as humans need to unite and support Saudi people who are clearing their population from sick and mentally ill people. Would you like for your children to have mental problems??
