Saudi World Cup Team Skips Moment Of Silence For London Terror Victims; Outrage Ensues

Should we be bent over this? According to Twitter, it’s an outrage — members of the Saudi men’s national soccer team refused to observe a minute of silence for victims of the London Bridge attack on Thursday.

It was prior to its match with Australia in a FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifying match in Adelaide. Eight people died in the attack, among them two Australians.
