Qatar network muscles its way onto U.S. TV
New York Post ^ | July 7, 2013 | PHIL MUSHNICK

Posted on 07/07/2013 4:06:12 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

Last week, the same day the New York Times reported the oil-rich Islamic republic of Qatar continues to fund and arm Muslim terrorists throughout the Middle East (and beyond), a press release arrived, another designed to publicize all the top-flight international soccer that now can be seen on our local cable systems as delivered by the beIN Sports network.

Omitted — read: carefully hidden from view — in the press release, as usual, was the fact beIN is owned by Qatar and the royal Al Thani family — rulers of Qatar for more than 150 years — as a division of Al Jazeera TV.

As beIN continues to buy exclusive rights to the best soccer played on the planet, our country’s largest cable and satellite providers continue to clear beIN, no questions or approval asked, no concerns expressed.

Mushnick is the sports media critic and seems right-of-center on many political issues. His disdain for ESPN is usually a worthy read but this one was too good not to post.

The world’s Moslems (including our distinguished president) simply will NOT rest until they’ve screwed up the United States as badly as their own home countries.

The Globalists have been trying to cram soccer down the US citizenry’s throat since I was in high school fifty years ago. Didn’t stick then, and ain’t gonna stick now.

As a rule I tend to agree.
I did, however, see the best of the best at the two games that I have attended.
A friend talked me into flying him down to Mexico City to see the world cup...quite some years ago.
I saw the great Pele as he led Brazil to the championship.
While it was quite exciting being in the crowd, I would not be interested in doing it again.
I have not seen anyone here in the Philippines, not even kids, with a soccer ball.

It's more than "seems." His comments over the years about how the "thugs" have taken over sports, both pro and college, have earned him the racist label more than a few times.

Bein Sports is also the only cable TV provider for World Superbike racing.

Yes, going all Muslim on the ref is indeed the very acme of “rules nullification.”
