Fucking love this. I’m not gonna argue that they are neutral, but they certainly aren’t compromised like club owners that are lining their pockets with blood money.

It was a fake foreign business to show how easily they'd just sell out for 10K a year without even researching the company or asking many questions.

They will have a neutral country decide those. Believe they are leaning towards Qatar

This is the big question.

The Saudis aren't on the UKs list for this for example. Make of that what you will.

Am I missing something? Does the post not explicitly say "Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations"?
