The game is off lads
I have a busy day in front of me. Haven't we all. But I thought I would find just a little stocking filler to either amuse or outrage the increasingly cynical, seen it all troops who tend to visit this sad site.
Where should I go? I can surf the world. Unlike Boris Johnson and that excuse for a creature, Liebour councillor, Bob Piper. Both who as part of a clampdown on freedom of speech had their sites closed for awhile due to some other site upsetting the Uzbek billionaire and Arsenal shareholder Alisher Usmanov. You can read about that here. Damn right money talks.
Well I wound up in that part of the world whose name translates to the name of water underground. And don't some people wish the entire countries population were underground also. I of course, could not possibly comment.
Yep. Your Arabic is flawless. Al-Ahsa in Saudia Arabia. The world centre for democracy, tolerance and free speech. Unless of course your a woman. Check this out.
AL-AHSA, 19 September 2007 — She wasn’t a hooligan, but she might as well have been for all the match-interrupting trouble she caused by daring to attend a free sporting event.
According to yesterday’s Al-Watan newspaper, a free football match at a public stadium here was stopped in the 36th minute in order for stadium officials to order a 12-year-old girl out, because apparently the presence of a girl at a sporting event is offensive to people who don’t have better things about which to complain and get self-righteous.
Before the game started, one particularly offended referee refused to start the game with the indecency of a female child attending the match.
Another more rational referee dismissed his colleague’s concern and managed to get the game started.
Later, however, stadium management decided to stop the game and asked the girl’s relatives to escort her out. The sporting event had been billed as a free community event, but apparently “free” and “community” only refers to half of the population — the ones who were born male.
So there you go guys. That is me for the day. If any fellow bloggers read this, could you please add The UK Enrichment News to your links and I shall reciprocate.
Take care out there. It's a jungle these days.
