Not wanting to let the off the hook, but there is a fundamental difference between companies carrying on their normal business in countries with shitty regimes and sports tournaments.
There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for tournaments to grace these places with their presence. They could host them in hundreds of other countries. The same doesn't apply for an engineering company, they are businesses trying to make profit in a competitive market.
That is why sportswashing is so particularly shitty.
