Jordan Henderson facing biggest backlash of any player lured by Saudi Arabia -
Nor is he the biggest name to be lured to the oil-rich kingdom as part of an ambitious recruitment drive that began with the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo last December.
“Your choice to side with our oppressors has seen most of members absolutely shocked and angry,” wrote Paul Amann, the founder of Kop Outs, Liverpool’s official LGBT+ Fans Group. The former Liverpool captain signaled his support for inclusivity last October by wearing rainbow-colored laces as part of an initiative by LGBTQ+ campaign group Stonewall.
Henderson has earned a reputation as a leader on and off the field for Liverpool and England throughout a trophy-laden career. As well as soccer, Saudi-funded LIV Golf has shaken up professional golf. However, critics have dismissed the efforts as “sportswashing,” attempting to leverage professional sports to clean up the kingdom’s image.
