What is 'sportswashing,' and what acts does it launder?

The awarding of the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia renews concerns over "sportswashing" and its lingering effects

Sportswashing is a term used to describe the practice where countries or entities with controversial human rights records or reputations invest heavily in sports to improve their image on the global stage. According to the article on KTSM, this tactic is often employed to distract from or launder negative perceptions related to issues like human rights abuses, corruption, or environmental degradation. Examples include hosting major international sporting events like the Olympics or the World Cup, or sponsoring high-profile sports teams and athletes. The article discusses how sportswashing can involve significant financial outlays to sports, which not only boosts the visibility of the sponsoring entity but also potentially influences public opinion and international relations. Critics argue that while these investments might bring economic benefits and global attention, they often serve to mask underlying ethical and moral issues, thereby allowing the entities to "launder" their image through the positive connotations associated with sports.
