'''Sportswashing''' is a pejorative term used mostly by [[liberal]]s to criticize a government that spends lavishly on sports stars supposedly to gain undeserved credibility in public opinion. The term is used most often against [[Saudi Arabia]] as it paid enormous sums for talent in [[golf]] ([[LIV]] tour) and then in [[soccer]] ([[Cristiano Ronaldo]]).<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2023/jan/02/liv-golf-risks-becoming-an-irrelevance-in-growing-saudi-sportswashing-portfolio</ref>

A [[double standard]] is in the [[Leftist]]s' use of this term, because they simultaneously demand a [[boycott]] by the [[PGA Tour]] of [[Trump]]-owned golf courses.
