Greg Norman, Cristiano Ronaldo, Liverpool FC, Barcelona, Formula 1, FIFA World Cups etc etc.

Like it or not, sportswashing is a thing nowadays.

Money talks I guess.

Saudi just driving dump trucks of money upto sports organisations HQs and telling them what they want to see.🙄

There's a reason we have a Grand Prix in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and Abu Dhabi (UAE) but none in France or Germany. We also have one in Azerbaijan and if wasn't for the invasion making it politically (and more importantly financially) untenable to continue, we also had one in Russia.

I love F1 but the sportswashing present at the moment it makes it difficult.

Oh yeah, totally understand that.

I'm a massive pro wrestling nerd, I've watched since I can remember, but I'm not shocked that it's come to this. They have been going to Saudi for 7/8 years now. It was inevitable with the amount of money they are paying WWE.

But WrestleMania.. man, it's gross.

The whole thing is gross, but what can you do🤷

As they always say, vote with your wallet.

But I like F1 too much and what's a few dollars via Kayo going to do? Can't afford even 0.001% of a gold-plated Lamborghini I guess... :huh:
 
We also have the Grand Final in Victoria. Despicable.
Don't tell the Saudis😂 2030 GF live from Riyadh

Yeah I hear ya.
When the Saudi and Emiertai Sheiks are throwing hundreds of millions, probably billions, around, our pleb boycott ain't going to do anything
 
So is this late front the byproduct of the negative IO dipole or just flukey?

I hate the cold but I'll take it for a little bit longer.
Those mid 20 spring days are peachy though.
After a really hot 2024-25 summer ai’ve actually not hated the cold as much this year but I’ve been over it since late August.

Not even 30 mate

The crappiest thing is the shithole design of all mid 1980s Perth house builds such as mine. The worst of heat insultation, when its hot the house is hot as hell and when its cold it feels like my bones are freezing.

Its true though.

I think someone did a study that Australian houses are some of the worst designed by way of insulation in anywhere in the world.

If I ever build a house, I'm going for insulated everything with polished concrete floors, man.
