Saudi Arabian National Team Refuses to Participate i Moment of Silence for Manchestet Victims

Whats there to say? These are the vilest people alive today. Id wish the same tragedy would happen to their sisters and daughters but they arent allowed to go to concerts.

You wish violence on innocent people? You’re an ass.

They are Saudis.
They are trained to be assholes by their Wahhabi docrtine and social system.

Only you my trollish friend.

One does wonder what their reason is. Perhaps it is a cultural difference. Of course, they could be jerks.

Maybe they thought, correctly, that a ‘moment of silence’ before a soccer game was a meaningless gesture? Next you’ll me they didn’t offer their thoughts and prayers?

Yeah, I agree. The backlash will be bad and innocents will be hurt. This is a bad situation for everybody.

No dipshit, you clearly wished violence on innocent women and children. That’s why I called you an ass. Well, that’s not the only reason.

You do understand the concept of hyperboly? And this is the Pit. I really dont wish any violence on their women.

And maybe your specific women…if there were any.

This is exactly what Trump would say if he’s said something as stupid as you did. Covfefe right?

Don’t think many people believe what he says either.

You are a lonely man, arent you?

Its the Daily Mirror, the Daily Mail’s stupider cousin. In the video you see one of the players (presumably the Captain) telling his players to stop moving. Its not like the played an instrument and sang “London Bridge is falling down”). They just stood around, not in formation; plus in a foreign country whose language they probably did not speak.

How many times have UK teams stood in a moment of silence for terror attacks in the ME?

The cultural difference is the disrespect that the Saudis are trained in for all others who are not part of their Wahhabi doctrine, including other Muslims who do not adhere to Wahhabist nastiness.

Well, you do make me wish we were better strangers.

The Guardian has more or less the same story although it is less hyped and less prejudicial in its language.

of course it is true I doubt that any British football team has made a moment of silence for 2003 etc.

Does not stop the observation the Saudis are assholes.

I got an alert from espn on my phone but good luck finding a link. They did link video so there is that.

I disagree. It means something to the families and the larger community. Plus, its simply good manners to wish sympathy to someone who is grieving.

May I use that line, or is it copy written?

Outrage over non-outrage. So meta!

Wrong question, if you’re going for a tu quoque. How many times did they decline to do so when asked?
