In my opinion all major sports organizations and teams should be designed from the start to be international criminal investigation entities that automatically begin criminal investigations behind the scenes of whoever buys them/whoever runs them.

Would this necessarily be ethical?

Maybe not... but it would sure as heck be practical!

Remove the word "investigation" and you're there with all the biggest ones 🤷🏻
