Newcastle United Fans Against Sportswashing - Statement on Qualification for Champions League
------------------------------------------------------
“All the perfumes and money of Arabia will not sweeten this deal or wipe away their crimes."
🧵👇🏽 Image The fog of cognitive dissonance gets ever thicker on the Tyne. Newcastle United have qualified for the Champions League for the first time in 20 years. Chairman of the club, Yasir Al-Rumayyan appeared in a penalty shootout at halftime with the minority owners. Image

As these quotes from an article in the Athletic make clear, #NUFC chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan is very much part of the Saudi regime.

“He works for a guy,” (MbS) “He has a lot of money and can do certain things he wants. But he’s a courtier.”

theathletic.com/4343985/2023/0… "The joy on Al-Rumayyan’s face was evident. This was a new kingdom, one outside the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where he serves as right-hand man to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, one of the world’s most powerful and controversial rulers."

#NUFC & @England player @trippier2 has made a welcome call for solidarity with #Ukraine ahead of the match at @wembleystadium

Kieran, along with many other football players obviously think it’s important to speak up on social issues & they can make a difference:

🧵👇 ImageImage So, why have no #NUFC players, past or present spoken out about the many victims of the 80% #NUFC owners?

If @trippier2 can show solidarity with the Ukrainian people, than why not with the Saudi people?

If he did he would make a massive difference & perhaps even save lives.

The recent @Reprieve report on the death penalty in Saudi Arabia lays out in stark detail many reasons why #EddieHowe #NUFC players #NUFCFans should be speaking out on the issue before the #CarabaoCupFinal

THREAD The rate of executions in Saudi Arabia has almost doubled since King Salman and his son Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) came to power in 2015, a new report reveals. They have presided over more than 1,000 executions.
