Its kind of impressive how fixed the media are about the Rwanda sponsorship, a sponsorship that objectively has a positive side considering how much the Rwandan tourism is tied to wildlife conservation and how many conservationists support eco tourism in the region, because it makes the wildlife important and gives local governments and communities are reason to to try and protect the rainforest and the wildlife. Meanwhile, the entire league is sold to shady oligarchs and butcher princes who "don't mind if you tell them that they do sportswashing". Arsenal's stadium is called Emirates ffs.

My cynical self would assume that this is because Rwanda had to be picky and doesn't have enough to pay for everyone, unlike the rest of the shady sponsors and owners
