The Kavernacle | How Saudi Arabia (and Capitalism) is DESTROYING Football @TheKavernacle | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 hour ago
This summer as seen a massive spending spree by teams in the Saudi football league. Karim Benzema, Marcelo Brozovic, Kante, Mendy, Mane, Firmino, Jordan Henderson, Franck Kessie - are all some household names that have made the switch to the Gulf Monarchy for a fat paycheck.
This is a symptom of many wider problems. The Saudis are using their vast wealth to buy influence around the world, including in sports, and want to use it to rehabilitate the Kingdom's poor international reputation - as well as diversify their revenue streams away from oil.
.00:00:00 - Capitalism and Football Don't Mix
00:05:55 - I LOVE FOOTY MATE
00:07:30 - Saudi Arabia are actually good at football
00:10:20 - Saudi Arabia has been buying the best players
00:18:30 - Jordan Henderson is a hypocrite
00:21:00 - Gulf Monarchies owning teams ruins football
00:25:10 - The Saudi Public Investment Fund
00:31:00 - Make it stop
