Saudi football chiefs apologise over London attack tribute
    9 June 2017
    From the section Australia
 
Saudi football chiefs have apologised after their national team elected not to take part in a minute's silence for victims of the London Bridge attack.

Australian players linked arms as a sign of respect before Thursday's World Cup qualifying match at Adelaide Oval.

Saudi players took up field positions and some continued to stretch.

Football officials said they had been told in advance that the "tradition was not in keeping with Saudi culture". An Australian MP called it "disgraceful".

Just more proof, like anymore was needed, that Muslims in general really don't get too upset when their brethren kill infidels.
