What's the appeal of being transferred to a high tier club in Eyrope if you're never going to play in regular matches?

I guess you get paid more to just exist?

It's not unreasonable to make the assumption that a credit union called America First founded in the thirties that originally had a different name is signalling some racist poo poo, but it might also not be a dog whistle. From their history section on Wikipedia:


quote:

In 1939, at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City, Utah, 59 members of the National Federation of Federal Employees, Local No. 650, instituted the Fort Douglas Civilian Employees Credit Union. On June 23, 1947, the finance office of the U.S. Army at Fort Douglas was moved to the Utah General Distribution Depot in Ogden, Utah, and the credit union moved with it and renamed itself Federal Employees Credit Union. In 1960, with the addition of the Naval Supply Depot in Clearfield, Utah, the credit union was now affiliated with five Federal Government installations, the others being the Utah General Depot, Hill Air Force Base, Fort Douglas and the Internal Revenue Service Building in Ogden, Utah. Utah-chartered credit unions began serving anyone in the state and the credit union changed its name to America First Credit Union in 1984.
