Like /u/espret's story! Like how the government helped Real with shady deals 20 years ago... ... Duh
Like what?
Off the top of my head: real sold their old training ground to the municipal govt for a fee far, far in excess of what it was worth. The govt then sold/gave them long lease on new facilities for a peppercorn sum.
Daz just gud business!
Exactly!
This isn't even the first time Chelsea's spending ruined football!
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
