Oh give them a break!

They are no different to any commercial owner. It's just an investment fund. A completely normal commercial investment.

That the new kit happens to match the national team's colours and happens to be effectively promoting the nation on a global stage is just completely coincidental.

And even it's not coincidental, there is a piece of paper with a LEGAL GUARUNTEE$ that there is no link between Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund chaired by Saudi Arabi's Saudi Crown Prince(/Deputy PM/Minister of Defence), and Saudi Arabia's sovereign government as represented by its Crown Prince(/Deputy PM/Minister of Defence). A LEGAL GUARUNTEE !!

Any suggestion of any such link or, indeed, any scurrilous allegations of "sports washing", is completely unfair and you should probably have your typing arm chopped off in a public space then dissolved and poured down a drain just to be sure. SAUDI-PHOBE!
