“More Profit Over Glory”: $2.35 Billion Worth Tottenham Hotspur’s Collab With F1 for Unique Motorsport Initiative After Tying Up Deal With NFL Leaves Fans Infuriated

After opening up its stadium to NFL, rugby, and boxing fixtures, Tottenham Hotspur is ready to open their doors to Formula 1. The London-based soccer club has signed a 15-year partnership deal with F1 that will feature a never seen before spectacle taking place in their gigantic 62,850-seater stadium. The soccer club aims to serve society in many ways that they revealed through their official website. Fans, however, are far from pleased and slammed the club’s owner Daniel Levy for being “greedy”.

Spurs registered their bid to host the Super Bowl in 2026 last year. They built the New White Hart Lane stadium at an eye-watering cost of 1 billion pounds ($1.21 billion). However, there are still many factors that might prove to be a roadblock to their ambition to host the annual event. Nevertheless, they will host at least two games per season until the end of 2027.

Tottenham Hotspur was subjected to brutal trolling after revealing a big F1 development

Spurs recently broke the news to fans about their 15-year deal with F1 that will include hosting the first-ever in-stadium karting race. The track, according to their official website, will open in the Autumn of 2023. The $2.35 billion worth (as per Forbes) club hopes to raise employment opportunities for the community and also provide an opportunity for local young talent. A driver academy program to hone and scout talent is also in the pipeline.

F1 fans did not take too well to the news as one user on Instagram slammed the move, writing, “greedy Levy more profit over glory #Levyout”.

Have a look at how fans reacted to the post on Twitter.

One fan took the opportunity to take a dig at Spurs’ trophyless run for many years.

Another fan mocked them for having a trophy in their stadium, not for soccer, though.

Some questioned F1’s management for choosing Spurs before any other club.

Some got creative and brought some puns in to take a swipe at the London-based team.

One fan was so disappointed with the news that they felt F1’s doom was near.
