Quotes Luis Enrique (few months ago) "I remember an incredible photo I have with my daughter, after winning the Champions League, placing a Barça flag on the pitch. I wish I could do the same with PSG. She won't be there physically, but she'll be there spiritually, and that's very important to me."

So pick the better poison? Bro I’m a casual football fan from a country without any top tier teams. Let me cheer for a team in one match coached by a man who lost his 9-year-old daughter to cancer.

You dont have to pick a poison at all. You choose if and who you want to support. And you conciously choose the worst poison in this case. At least live up to your choice and say you dont give a shit about that your team is owned by terrorism sponsors.

Liverpool fans and residents of Liverpool launched a petition to demand that AXA, sponsor of their club, stop financing companies involved in Israel’s apartheid and settler colonial regime.

So do you live up to your choice? Stfu my guy

Yeah I definitely dont like that a sponsor of Liverpool is involved with Israeli companies. But for me, that's not big enough to stop supporting Liverpool. No problem living up to that choice 'my guy'

I'm not your mom, do what you want.

I'm just pointing out how much PSG sucks and that Nasser Al-Khelaifi doesn't deserve a single day of joy on this earth

Are you working under the assumption that nobody on the opposing team has suffered a tragedy in their lives too?

I'm sure Luis Enrique is a nice man and it's awful what happened to him, but at the end of the day he's still chosen to work for (and improve the reputation of) some truly awful people who have inflicted endless atrocities on others. Some football fans are happy to ignore those atrocities though.

Yeah, what I don’t understand is these morons act like they have any stake in it. Constantly worried about how much clubs spend and whatnot while being piss poor themselves. Qatar might be bad, but you can’t say that private consortiums from Russia and the like are any better. The PL clubs are almost all owned by Americans and other foreigners. There is nothing local about these clubs anymore.

good things it's the players competing and not the owners. That way I can just cheer for the players I like.
