Why would a Muslim country vie for any international event when they know full well that the Westerners do not respect their ways and would desecrate their country?

Communist kickball is so mind numbing they (journalists) have to create dramas outside the games.

There was a time in my life when I did a lot of international travel, not as a tourist but mostly with my employment. Respecting the culture of the foreign countries was the rule of the day. We all did and life was good.

They can’t allow anyone to have political statements on shirts or armbands, or you will get lots of them and have a real mess.

I’ve enjoyed Grant Wahl’s soccer analysis for many years. He knows the game, the players, the coaches, and can write clearly.

“Westerners do not respect their ways and would desecrate their country?”
