Sportswashing

While channel-hopping between sports over the weekend, I encountered something I wasn't expecting.  Fox Sports 2 was showing a live game from the Saudi Pro League.  That is disappointing, to say the least.  Shouldn't this league be shunned in the same way that LIV Golf is?  Footballers well past their prime being exorbitantly overpaid by a government (who own majority stakes in the clubs) guilty of appalling human rights abuses.  And if any network was going to buy the TV rights, it had to be Fox in another egregious display of hypocrisy.  Naturally I didn't watch any of the game.
