    I feel like women would definitely have to balls to attempt more serious forms of protest. This makes me somehow want this to happen lol.

        Their form of protest would likely just be refusal to play. Make a competition into proper sunday league quality. That would TRULY embarrass the Saudis

      I mean the backlash when they tried to make Visit Saudi a primary sponsor of the last World Cup was pretty big. From players and fans.

      Within the country, probably not, but in the lead up to the tournament for sure. Boycotts are very likely

      No women’s team from the US for sure. They wouldn’t even be able to get mercenaries, everyone would simply turn it down. Can’t imagine we’d be the only one.
