That's all Saudi money. Sportswashing their image after all the awful stuff they've done.
Trump is just a beneficiary.
Now since LIV is hemorrhaging cash, I can see why you thought he would have some financial involvement.
If he did, it would by symmetrical because his businesses always lose money.
Until the silly media SPAC he didn't have the money to be involved. He still wouldn't have the cash, even today.
Also, the failed football league was the USFL, not the AFL. The AFL merged with the NFL in the 60s and all the teams were included. (Chiefs, Patriots, Broncos, Bills, Chargers, Oilers, Dolphins,
Jets, and so on.) Lots of Super Bowl wins in that group. Not a big failure like the USFL. Of course, Trump was still a kud and couldn't be involved & screw things up.
