No Arsenal plans to end Visit Rwanda deal despite ruling against government policy
theathletic.com
Arsenal have no plans to cancel their sleeve sponsorship deal with Visit Rwanda following the UK Supreme Court’s ruling that the government’s Rwanda immigration plan is “unlawful”. No changes are anticipated to the four-year £10million-per-year ($12.5m) deal signed in 2021 with Visit Rwanda, which first appeared on Arsenal shirts in 2018. When delivering the verdict, Lord Robert Reed, president of the court, said Rwanda “has a poor human rights record”, citing evidence from the UN’s refugee agency. Lord Reed added there was a “real risk” asylum seekers could be sent...

    I am a United fan but OP here is just clutching on straws to justify their ownership. Looks like Arsenal is living rent free in your head and i am not surprised a Newcastle fan is coming out calling Arsenal “hypocrite” when your ownership itself is a hypocrisy issue. Arsenal were in the first division even as far as my granddad goes and they are embodiment of British football just like United unlike a division 2 scrap club climbing ladders using Oil money funded from human abusive states. Downvoting this post as OP is rattling up the Arsenal fans to farm karma. Such an embarrassment of a club and a fanbase really pathetic.

      Hello fellow Premier League product enjoyer

      Are you aware of the only group who held the power to block state takeovers of clubs or veto dodgy sponsorships?

      Are you also aware of who the 5 clubs are that forced a breakaway from the Football League to create the Premier League so that they could profit over anything else?

    Well by your logic the emirates or fly emirates which is a shirt sponsor for Arsenal should also be criticised right? If then our historical FA Cup which is now being sponsored by the Emirates is called the Emirates FA Cup should also be banned right? I don’t see anyone criticising it or questioning it whereas you Newcastle oil fcks criticize a shirt sponsor. Then in your minds you lot must be against the FA equivalent to the British government equivalent to you being anti-national. Absolute Embarrassment the fanbase of Newcastle has become

      This sub is r/PremierLeague… who do you think allowed the Newcastle and Man City takeovers to go through? Who were the only group with any actual power to stop it from happening? Who has the sole power to veto Arsenal being sponsored by Rwanda?

      Yet we’re all still here…

    We’re all in r/PremierLeague… remind me again which organisation has the sole power to veto sponsorships or block takeovers?

    Yet the fans who actually have no power to do anything just give them a pass and instead point fingers at each other and use horrific human rights abuses purely for the purpose of petty points scoring in football rivalries. While continuing to lap up the product from the group actually profiting from all of this.

    Maybe if we aimed all started aiming our content at the Premier League they might have to start thinking twice about letting any old dodgy money into the sport.

    Meh. Its not like Arsenal is being funded and run by Rwanda government bodies. They can change to another and also better sponsor. Not much of issue
