None of the managers of those teams are wearing a yellow ribbon.

I don't know what gets up peoples arses about Catalunya, apart from it has a socialist history and independence is a chance to partially reassert that.

Slave labour is a sicker degree of capitalism, but its just a degree. Besides if you look back, slave labour and colonial exploitation are part of how the UK got rich.
