I was against LIV because it awarded mediocrity instead of creating better competition and “growing the game.” The Saudi connection was conveniently also objectionable, but I’m not convinced there aren’t similar dirty money trails in other sports.
There is no direct ownership of any North American sports franchise by a foreign government. There are various degrees of market influence however that seems categorically different, though obviously not without its problems (see Rockets, Houston) than what we’re talking about here.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
