Not recently, but out of lack of interest more than principles! My view is a football club represents so much more than all these others organisation. It's a representation of the community, it's history and tradition. Maybe old fashioned view, but I'm sticking to it.
What it comes down to is that Newcastle fans can turn a blind eye to things like Khadhoggi assassination if it means they get a better centre forward. If that's what top level football is about, I would rather stay in the lower league. Our owner may have killed hundreds of people, but at least it's only in films!
