Leverkusen and Wolfsburg have nothing in common with the Red Bull clubs. Those two were founded by factory workers of Bayer and Wolksvagen. This is where they get their name and sponsorship from. And lots of other clubs were formed around factories, as they were meant to provide better conditions for workers before clubs went professional. PSV and Sochaux were formed around Phillips and Peugeot. Red Bull just bought clubs and pumped money into them via nefarious means. Leverkusen and Wolfsburg don’t do that and their relations to corporations are historical.

I was thinking about adding PSV, but compared to Wolfsburg and Leverkusen they are actually liked and supported in their country. The only reason why Bayer and VW get a pass nowadays is because of RB.
