This is the biggest story in World #Sport at the moment
The way the narrative is starting to play out is so reminiscent of the #Trump election - It's a scary template!

For any #boxing / #sport fan with no previous knowledge of these characters, we should be sceptical of simplistic caricatures that are served up by Online Fans OR stenographers masquerading as journalists!
There's a lot of sh*t out there! 🤳💻
Research & Critical thinking! 🤔

If we accept the @panorama programme #boxingandthemob then we have a situation whereby #OrganisedCrime has not only infiltrated BUT is dominating a Global/Professional Sport!
If that's the case, what's to stop these forces taking over #Football OR other major Sport next?
#MTK

Another question would be;
If #OrganisedCrime has taken a controlling interest in professional sport, how come the #SportsMedia #Promotors #Sponsors #Athletes #Management #Fans have done little to call it out? 💸🔁

And why are there so many Boxers/Trainers/Fans online dismissing this story as some kind of #WitchHunt against #Kinahan ?
- "Stop being a hater"
- "No criminal convictions"
- "Good for the sport"
- "The boxers love him"
- "Look at all the investment he's making in sport/charity"
- "Stop being a hater"
- "No criminal convictions"
- "Good for the sport"

- "Look at all the investment he's making in sport/charity"
Let's consider the x2 key questions;
- Is Kinahan part of Serious Organised Crime / Is an OCG trying to legitimise itself through the control of professional sport?
- If so, why does they seem to have so much support?
The evidence...

Real Organised Crime has heritage / lineage (like Royals😉)
#Power #Control #systems #Families
In the UK/Ireland, Tier 1 criminals used to be Bank Robbers/Big time thieves in the 60's/70's.
Drugs became big in the 80's/90's⏩
Money grew exponentially 💸💰
So, start there 🧐

Read the extensive reporting & books from the last 30 years.
Look at the recurring names, systems, connections, convictions, dead bodies, wrecked societies!
And consider 🤔 Maybe we better watch out for this!?
It's real - It's Dangerous - It's being Normalised!
Like Trump was

Serious Organised Crime is a multi-national business.
Those TV shows we've seen about Italian, Russian, Latin Americans Mafia's/Cartels etc that seem Dark, Scary - Sexy, Glamorous!?
Read the Irish, Spanish & international press though
Stories from real communities 👀
Oh ☹️

The $£Mega Money created by Global Drug Trafficking has spawned the growth of other related sectors;
- Intelligence Agencies
- Terrorism Financing
- Offshore Networks
A lack of joined-up ability & approach 🌐 to stamp it out means some of that money seeps out & can corrupt 💸🔁

So why are so many boxers, trainers, pundits & fans dismissing this?
Money talks 🤷♂️💸
If your paycheque depends on it, are you going to stand up and call it out?
As well as the misery drugs bring to societies, they suck money out & concentrate it in the hands of key criminals

This isn't completely new...
Just like Trump re-inventing himself from a dodgy/failed businessman to a TV Business Guru & ultimately President of 🇺🇸 using #FoxNews #SocialMedia & having questionable connections/funding!
Sports Washing is a tactic
It Works
Perception = Reality

Do @SkySportsBoxing or @BTSportBoxing refuse to deal with this company & the huge group of Athletes they control (pay for)?
🤔
The #FuryJoshua fight is a perfect example.
Just look at the numbers 🧐💰
It's Great Sport - Demand is there!

Boxing is the toughest of sports.
Any man/woman who is willing to test themselves in the ring against professionally trained fighters deserves respect (& hopefully a decent payday)
MTK can offer the best BECAUSE they have a 'Big Pot' of 💰 according to @BBCPanorama
Over Pay!?

Just like big corporations that can undercut smaller businesses because they have fancy structures to avoid tax OR 'Cartel like' relationships that ensure competition is priced out of the market
It's just... this cartels main business is allegedly drugs/murder/death/destruction!

So why hasn't this been stopped?
Why haven't authorities protected societies & arrested criminals?
Why is there so much confusion & cognitive dissonance?
#ModernWorld #FakeNews #GreyZones #Brexit #Trump #CultOfPersonalities
Lack of multi-lateral joined-up thinking/action!🚨
