Now, now, let's not be like that! This is a sport that is ignored by millions and millions of people around the globe.

#5  I think the liberal rules don’t apply to locals. Meagan and Sue are fine but Fatima is still subject to the morality police. I don’t think Qatar does Iranian forced skydiving, so Fatima’s smack down will be private. A burka serves well to hide bruises. I did not watch the Olympics in Beijing; don’t imagine I will watch this exercise in hypocrisy.

#3  I think what they are /trying/ to say, the down-low from the local QWERTYS+ is if you go you can do the kissing cam and get away with it when on-air, just don't be surprised if you get thumped on the way home, or you get back to your hotel room and shit is smeared all over the bed and walls.

#1  I like the part about respecting and following the values of the country you are visiting, har har. I'm sure the sportsball commentators will make up for it.

But no calls for a boycott.
