the two tenets of being a sports fan that you must understand are 1. All sports fans are evil (this includes you) and 2. All sports fans are hypocrites (this includes you). once you accept these foundational ideas , it’s all good dude
I think balenciaga made some REALLY last minute decisions regarding Hudson’s outfit. it isn’t tailored to him, it doesn’t match his hair and makeup, we know he got dressed on site because he didn’t have the suit on under his robe, and while he was gushing about what Aika did for his hair and makeup, he didn’t have much to say about the outfit at all.
I have been seeing a ton of tweets that go like "get that IDF soldier out of my sport" in response to one Lance being pictured with his girlfriend (that served in the IDF) in Miami.
I just feel like it is time for everyone to stop being delusional and realize that the F1 paddock is literally THE MOST LIKELY PLACE TO FIND someone that served in the IDF and that has ties with the IDF
Every single team has partners that in some shape or form profit from the war on Gaza and Lebanon and the illegal occupation of the West Bank by Israel and the US.
This is a non-extensive list of F1 partners and sponsors that have significant interest in the war on Gaza and Lebanon perpetuated by the US and Israel. Some other sponsors were omitted because though they have some operations in Israel, it is unclear how they contribute to the war. Some of these companies are from Israel and operate in illegally occupied territories. For legal reasons, this is not a call to boycott or harass any organization, individual, or country. This is simply a list of publicly available information that can be found through a quick search.
The purpose of this list is to make fans aware of the type of money that flows into the sport through partnerships and make fans realize the extent of the involvement of F1 and their sponsors in the war in the Middle East.
