In America, we get worked up over a Men's Health article condescendingly explaining how to talk to uninterested women about sports. But we forget that in Saudi Arabia, women being interested in sports isn't just unheard of, it's considered sinful. After a video showing a Saudi Arabian woman covered in a black abaya and burqa rooting for the national team in a match in the Asian Champions League in the UAE surfaced, men in Saudi Arabia are outraged that she was even at the match -- it would have been verboten at home. Yes, women can't even attend matches there. Wait... yes, it's 2014, had to check. (BBC)
