Baby steps my ass
By VictorM:Laurie points us to a story about women in Saudi Arabia being allowed to play soccer:
For the first time ever, female teams in Saudi Arabia have been allowed to play soccer. In a country where women’s rights are so restricted that women aren’t even allowed to drive, this is a baby step in the right direction.Come on, this is 2008, for crying out loud. It's one thing to respect religions but those people are barbarians, plain and simple. At the pace that country is going, there will be a lot more dead women than soccer players.
"The match was held at a 35,000 capacity stadium in the city of Dammam. No men were allowed in the stadium, and the referee and her linesman, as well as the fans, were also female."
If you follow the link to Laurie's piece, she points us to another story dealing with a 12 year old that's simply beyond comprehension.
I don't disagree with Laurie that this all-female soccer match is better than nothing; I just don't think it's done with good intentions. I believe Saudi Arabia allowed that game to ease off pressure.

Anyone know what the Koran has to say about soccer?
If the women's team fails to beat the infidel, will they be stoned to death?
