Name one team in the PL that the US government owns? I can name a couple teams that are owned by Arab/Middle Eastern governments. The owners of Fulham, Everton, and Villa are partially or fully middle eastern. BUT they're not part of the government so they don't get criticisms of the countries they were born in or represent.

The owners of Fulham are Middle Eastern? Aren't they owned by the Khan family? Pakistani Americans?

Yeah, I guess theres a caveat on what you define as Middle East. Villa’s partial owner, Sawiris, is Egyptian and I guess that’s more North Africa than Middle East, but point still stands in my opinion
