The footballers themselves don't matter, they're playing for and representing Israel, that's all that matters, no Irish team should be legitimising Israel through sportswashing.

(ps: excuses zou wel op zn plaats zijn. Al jaren wijs ik al op dit patroon van sportswashing van Jake Paul in Nederlandse media. En nu word ik, journalist die gewoon zn taak doet, dus ook in Trouw weggezet als 'extremist'. Dat vind ik nogal wat.)

OK, yeah he's quickly rising to #1 cycling @asshole, but I'm not sure if that karma should be given to other teammates.
To me, the whole team deserves to end soon, but that's mainly because of their sportswashing sponsor and doping past tainted staff.

Well, I hope they find one, but more importantly I hope it's not a sportswashing sponsor. (As much as a big company can be not sportswashing in today's world. But I'll take capitalism over oppressive governments or fossil fuel giants).

Anyone supporting Saudi Arabia, or being fooled by their “sportswashing” or investment funding or comedy festivals needs to wake the fuck up.
