Saudi Arabia

By Scott Keith on 3 May 2018


For all the people claiming that WWE is taking the Saudis’ “blood money”, I get it.

HAVING SAID THAT, is it also bad that Black Panther was the first movie screened in the nation in 35 years? Where is the outrage there? Also, Americans (and probably Canadians, I assume) have their tax dollars given to the Saudis every year, so a WWE show is pretty low on the outrage scale for me.

Overall, maybe having “Western” movies and shows in the nation is a net-positive? I don’t know, but it certainly can’t be OK for BP just because Chadwick Boseman didn’t physically go to Arabia, right?

​I have to say I don’t get the point you’re making. ​
