Wow, simply wow - if there ever was an article with the 'I actually don't know whether to laugh or cry' punchline: this is it. Wonderful read.

The 'It now seems that version of events might not be entirely true' part made me laugh out loud, love the little understatement there, obviously it's just tiny details after all. :)

No, no, no, the frog just needs another $500,000 and then it can convince the scorpion to become a frog

“Maybe there’s a queer Saudi that has suddenly felt seen.”

They don’t care about being seen, they care about not being fucking murdered.

How much of a joke of a person do you have to be to say this shit?

Also the idea that an image of spotty rainbow vomit on a jersey (that looks like your players have eaten a particularly rancid packet of skittles) would somehow make you feel seen just betrays the fact you think everyone is as shallow as you are.
