Plus it’s all dirty Saudi blood money. Screw all the golfers that threw their careers away for a check - and now want their cake and eat it too.

Because the FFF is in fucking shambles, right now the president has had to step back because he's accused of sexual harassment (among 200 other things), the general director is gonna get fired because of her authoritative management, the whole executive committee is made of people who have shit on each other so no one can talk or do anything without getting burned by the others. Like we say in French it's a big fucking crab bucket. In this situation of course taking decisions is difficult and everything is political, nothing is done for the good of French football.

I just read through her Wiki page and the section under controversies makes me question why she is still in charge.

I mean.. it's not even about depression, suicide, etc.

It's literally a person who simply doesn't want to be involved in something while mental health also deals with regulating your health. I don't understand how similar types of people understand the need for exercise, nutrition, medical checkups, and rest days; but, the idea of maintaining ones mental health (which is still physical, it's definitely not magic) makes one weak, spoiled, or... not manly (that's another ridiculous topic as well).

Would many of these same guys leave for different companies / jobs, fully use their vacation days, tell their partners or children to give them a break, or resort to alcoholism (or other unhealthy coping mechanisms) if they felt unhappy or mentally drained? Yes, they would. But the moment they read "mental health" (especially when associated with any celebrity or athlete), they picture some spoiled, weak caricature they have in their mind.

Fair point.

I wonder how much this turmoil will affect them in the upcoming world cup

For sure. They may have hit the geographical jackpot but they’re not stupid. Diversification of wealth is smart whether it’s your $500 rainy day fund or your $100,000,000,000 oil monopoly.

I’m guessing it’s sarcasm with how ridiculous it would be otherwise

If they are males there’s another reason too

The owners of money need to launder it to live? Because of the implied threat of themselves?

And the best way to do this is to simply give it away to golfers and never get it back?
