The Straight Shootin' View Episode 99 - Chelsea, Abramovic, Politics & Shady Football ethics

The Straight Shootin' View Episode 99 - Chelsea, Abramovic, Politics & Shady Football ethics

Are Chelsea being unfairly punished for the sins of their owner Roman Abramovic? Are we seeing the end of sportswashing in football?


In this episode of the Straight Shootin' View, Our co-host SSLJA discusses the UK Government sanctioning Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovic by freezing his assets including Chelsea, who due to the sanctions on Roman, have had their credit cards frozen among other sanctions. 

SSLJA discusses whether or not it is unfair to punish Chelsea as a club because of their owner and how a club being solely reliant on their owner's money can be problematic if their owner is shady.


SSLJA also looks at the notion that the Abramovic situation could be the end of sportswashing in football and also looks at some fans who were happy to ignore Abramovic's past and links to sinister individuals and regimes, as long as the club was being successful and winning trophies.
