Isn't it the wrong term 'oil clubs', doesn't it carry racial Undertones after some journalists have been warned in some quarters?
I include Roman Abramovich and Chelsea when I think of 'oil clubs'. For me, the term is a football club funded by owners who made money for the oil industry. Perhaps the media only play up to the part of Arabs in the field, but surely it's just as relevant to USA, Russian or another country's oil barons?Agreed. The correct term is sport-washing, human rights abusing, draconian regime and financial doping clubs.
What is the 'racial' aspect of this term?
