I'm for ethical UK trade. I'm for stopping arms sales to human rights abusers. I'm for football clubs being owned by fans not oligarchs or hedge funds or pornographers. I'm for TV rights going to free terrestrial stations. Until this happens #NUFC are not a special case.
You want to clean up football? Great, we all want to clean up football. Let's do it - top to bottom. We'll cut out blatant profiteering at the expense of fans, payments to agents, clubs that don't pay non-playing staff a living wage. Let's do it all, let's go.
I keep reading that "Mike Ashley isn't a saint but this guy...." - where do you think Mike Ashley gets all those cheap clothes made? You want to go through slave labour issues in China? Uighurs making Puma kit? https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/china-83-major-brands-implicated-in-report-on-forced-labour-of-ethnic-minorities-from-xinjiang-assigned-to-factories-across-provinces-includes-company-responses
It all nags at me. It nags at me whenever I waste time caring about football. Clean it up or admit that none of us are blameless. Not least the media.
I can go on. #NUFC have an online bookie as its sponsor - it's estimated that 500 people kill themselves in the UK alone as a result of gambling addiction. Our sport, club, local sports coverage is mired in this stuff. Let's get rid of that too, if we're cleaning up.
Telegraph reporters tweeting about human rights? The absolute irony. If only you people had a platform you could use to highlight these issues. If only you had an existing audience you could reach. If only you have an exceptionally unwoke owners whose minds you could change.
If only you had (until very recently) a prime minister on the payroll you could reach out to. I'm all for it - let's see the Telegraph lead Britain's human rights movement. If that happens - I'll happily see #NUFC fans renounce our billionaire saviours and join in.
