Me and my friends (USA) decided to become fans of a premier league team after getting into football recently. We ended up choosing Newcastle for a few different reasons. Being owned by Saudi Arabia was not one of them. I only recently discovered this fact and now I’m wondering if I should change which team I support.

I asked some other friends who are more into the league what I should do and I got pretty mixed responses. The argument for switching was mostly that Newcastle is owned by the PIF, is an example of sportwashing, and supporting them means supporting Saudi. The arguments for staying were that we’ve already decided on Newcastle and every team has some tie to oil money.

I figure you guys have more of an idea than we do so I figured I’d ask.
