@@AthleticInterest i feel like you didn't really sell it to me, the crucial point about why fossil fuels sponsor soccer. in particular the statement that they want to ensure people keep buying their oil or gas as long as possible... this doesn't follow. the mere fact that it's running out ensures people will buy it as long as possible. in fact if their competitors take some of their business this year, it just means their industry lasts an extra year longer right? so why advertise as if they need to sell it as fast as possible

I would highlight the case of Forest Green Rovers, as I think it's an incredibly relevant example of how football clubs can take a stand in regards to this complex relationship with the geo-politics of footbal sponsorships. Other than that, as usual, great video!

15 year old me watching Football: YEAHH LET'S GO. IT'S THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. 28 year old me watching football: so if PSG wins champions League, the middle East would become richer and it can play out the game of geopolitics better on the world map which may cause the world superpower US to be wary of the new world order emerging from Middle East, South Asia, and East Asian Markets who are already booming as the new age economies to rule the world.
