The German coach of Chelsea
lashed out at the club's fans for chanting the former Jewish owner's name during an intended 'minute of applause' for Ukraine. Traveling 4 hours to support the club doesn't give you the right to have a "second opinion" on the situation, according to Tuchel. What a disgrace, especially when you consider how other EPL clubs have Saudi ownership, despite their brutality against the people of Yemen. The hypocrisy is deafening.
The English Premier League itself is a disgrace and soulless product of neoliberal globohomo sportsball.
It used to go by Division 1 iirc in the 1990s before rebranding itself.
Tickets are overpriced to keep the average joe and jane out. Mostly panders to the white collar crowd these days.
A large ass percentage of the players are not even born within the United Kingdom and the top clubs usually hire foreigners to compete.
Its the total opposite of the French or German soccer leagues in the sense nobody wants to play in France or German so its generally majority native but they do hire a lot of Africans to play in that league, well same for almost every league at this point.
But its the perfect soulless product for the long run, Its about as English as baseball's World series is truly a "World" series lol and those champs are really "World" champions and not "National" champions to be more accurate.
You got a bunch of folks who have never set foot in London or Manchester or Birmingham or anywhere else on that soil, and yet call themselves fans of those teams and some are hardcore enough to kill others for hating on their team miles and miles away.
Its the same thing with the FIFA video game series where its not about playing your local hometown team but the best team to pwn someone else, who then quits just before the game ends, leaving you raging, and then paying the same $60 each passing year for just only updated rosters.
Sorry for this off topic rant but wanted to discuss how soulless the whole product known as the EPL is and people thought the NBA or NFL was bad enough with the BLM pandering.
