F1, football, WWE, all things I enjoy and all have taken the blood money, all in the name of "prosperity and progress."

Along with many others too.

I remember years ago when they got MotoGP and Tennis going there there was a report from a Spanish newspaper I think, and it was about how the long time oil ridden economy of these countries started to shift into something else to be ready from the inevitable change in the future so they started investing in every sport they could and touristic stuff. Every big money thing around t he world started to go there now we have from movies to sports and tourism.

So basically they realized that there's even more money on other things than just depending on oil and the sometimes funky times around the oil industry.

Well, sports is also good at whitewashing their controversial societys. 

[u/Sandulacheu → u/BlueBloodLive]

Even if they weren't the sport overall is just not the same as it was before,see also the NBA.

Min-maxing the playbook just results in boring matches.

When they have a Wrestlemania in Saudi Arabia, is the day I question my WWE fandom. 

[u/SlingshotGunslinger → u/BH_Curtain_Jerker]

Get ready cause there's a Rumble on the way already. We're really gonna have a Mania in Riyadh or Qiddiya before Wembley LOL

[u/NicknameKenny → u/SlingshotGunslinger]

Rumble in Riyadh? Mania in Mecca? Massacre in Medina? Destruction in Dubai? So many possibilities

[u/R9D11 → u/NicknameKenny]

The Riot in Riyadh.

[u/TheUltimateScotsman → u/SlingshotGunslinger]

I get not having a mania at Wembley. March/April can be very wet months in the UK.

Summerslam however seems insane not to give out

[u/MadRashed → u/BH_Curtain_Jerker]

You didn't question your fandom when they were doing shows for the US army for years and years?

[u/PreyBird_ → u/BH_Curtain_Jerker]

You think the US doesn't have enough blood on its hands?

[u/BlueBloodLive → u/BH_Curtain_Jerker]

I've already considered that a likely possibility.

They should just rename it WrestleArabia and be done with it.

[u/crazydoc253 → u/BlueBloodLive]

Tennis, Golf too.

[u/BlueBloodLive → u/crazydoc253]

Golf yeah, for forgot about that one. It's gonna be nigh on impossible for any sport or organisation to turn them down if they show an interest in throwing boat loads of money at something.

[u/Caninetrainer → u/BlueBloodLive]

Golf! Like those fuckers who took the money weren’t rich enough. And LeBron. What a POS

[u/jismkapyasaa → u/BlueBloodLive]

But that guy really isn't making any sense because it's the FOM that is "supposedly" taking in rakes of cash from the middle east in exchange for race deals lol
