while everyone is fixated on the glamour of al-ittihad’s multi-million dollar signings, no one is talking about the corporate machine behind these Saudi clubs that exploits local talent while inflating salaries. the league’s skyrocketing revenues, reported to exceed $600 million this year, come at the expense of the clubs’ youth academies. meanwhile, executives rake in fat salaries; al-ittihad’s C...
Al-Hilal is throwing around money like it is monopoly cash while the rest of the Saudi league looks like it is playing with crumbs.

It is pathetic to see an organization using inflated salaries and global star power to mask the deeper issues plaguing Saudi Arabia. This whole charade proves that you can buy talent, but you cannot buy credibility. #AlHilal #SportsWashing
