Genuine question, I clearly don't follow closely enough, but why are red bull so bad?

Yeah, allowing sovereign nations to own football clubs definitely isn’t having any deleterious effects on the game, and the Saudi league isn’t going to fuck things up by inflating prices / wages and draining talent at a younger and younger age.
And it’s not “going to play in a shit league for money”, it’s actively engaging in sportswashing for an authoritarian regime that has no compunctions with murder / torture / etc. The two can’t be separated.

I think Red Bull are worse for football than the Saudi league, which essentially seems to have failed as a project.
I don't think Saudi Arabia and its associated human rights abuses are less bad than a drink, but I think getting on board with something which is actually ruining football is worse than going to play in a shit league for the money.
