Are you really using Nazi Germany for an example as to why Chelsea aren't "the only ones ruining football"?

No, he's using Nazi Germany as an example of how football has been corrupted by less than benevolent interests for a very long time.

I mean yeah I get it, but that's leaving out a relevant historical context as to why those things happened.

I agree that Chelsea should not be seen as "where things gone wrong", but pointing out to Nazi Germany to say things have always been wrong just seems whataboutism with a really low bar

I don’t get what we’re doing here trying to paint Chelsea’s spending as some new wave ruining football.

Exactly!

This isn't even the first time Chelsea's spending ruined football!
