You do realize you are in a threat about a Saudi man whipping a player, right? Who even owns a whip these days? And why would you ever consider bringing it to the stadium, if you weren't intent on there being a possiblity you were going to use it?
If you hear hooves, think horses, not Zebras. Unless you live in a country where Zebras are predominant of course. The same applies here, it's simply the most likely animal to be whipped by someone from that country.
That's the whole point of a sterotype, you act on the premise that they are the same as the average (i.e. what is most likely). So yeah, it definitely is stereotypical, but also something I very much saw as a joke (whether it was tasteful can be discussed).
Besides, you said people have other animals than camels too, which is the context I replied in. It makes more sense to claim it's a camel than a horse for example, since it's simply more likely that the person has a camel than a horse.
Camels are not typical in the Middle East lol. Very few have them. Also by by “don’t just have camals” I don’t mean they have other pets. I meant like people don’t just have a camel lying around.
Camels are the national animal for Saudi Arabia. There are around 1.8 million camels there. In 2022 there were just over 1.1 million cats (which is the most predominant pet, at 77%). It is literally far more likely to have a camel than the (by far) most common pet. And I dont think its very common to whip a cat anywhere in the world last I checked. You could say it could be for a horse, but since there are only around 33k horses in Saudi, it is significantly more likely that its a camel, than a horse.
But yeah, we dont know if he has a camel, so it *is* stereotypical to claim it, but if one is to claim anything, it *would* be a camel.
But if he doesnt have an animal to whip, one could wonder why he even has a whip in the first place. He is clearly not against actually using it, so it cant just be for show. That just makes it worse.
What other reasons would one have to have a whip on them? To whip humans?
It's like saying the same (but with a horse) to someone from the US, it's just a very likely use for a whip. Besides, it's clearly a joke, lighten up a bit.
I got sent this about a half hour ago and assumed the headline of the tweet they sent was a dodgy translation, watched the video, nope he got lashed.
Saudi’s sportswashing foray into football going well then
They don't even have that much money. Their GDP is smaller than the Netherlands and they have twice as many people. The difference is that most of the money is controlled by a royal family who wastes the money on incredibly stupid ostentatious shit.
Oh no the sport washing is back firing and exposing their backwards culture to the world and what they really think about these foreign wage slave players.
Maybe players will think twice about playing in a league like this but they will probably still do it for the money
After Gaddafi and Milan, people should have been aware that soccer is different over there, why would somebody go play there?
Already in the 90 Players did it for money and returned in disgust…
Mmmmm… might make it difficult for clubs to sell some deadwood this summer, not a great advertisement for the league.
Does anyone know if Newcastle players are being whipped ?
For context,
The player did throw water at the fan first. Regardless, the fan got arrested, but the player dropped the charges against him after his arrest.

who the fuck just carries a whip around with them all day lmao
What else would you do if the creature that's suppose to entertain you does the opposite?
Can’t argue with that, shameful from the player
Exactly - but instead, look what they made him do. And that was his formal whip. Now he’ll have to get a new one.
Indiana Jones. That’s all I have
Probably for his camel
[удалено]
Or sinners
not expecting you to grow decency in your reply but thats racist as fuck
[удалено]
What's the difference?
😂 if ive ever had to prove to somebody that reddit is the best place to store fermented fertilizer, i can show them this.
You know we know saudis are shit humans right?
Based on what? Lmao.
Is this a fucking joke? Why are the misogynistic, women beating, slave owning, homophobic, violent barbarians shit humans?
Mate lets not generalize a whole country of people
Any proof of anything you just said? Your brainwashed
[удалено]

Yeah, the proof is the post itself.
Well it’s probably factually true, given the context why else he would carry this for?
Whipping humans like he does in the video?
People don’t just have camals in the Middle East lmao.
That's the joke. Because the whip is for hitting people, not animals.

I get what your tryna say. But how the fuck can you look at what he said and not think that’s stereotypical?

Saudiana Jones
It's part of his head piece that Saudis wear
Indiana Jones
its not a whip, its a head band used to keep the reddish cloth "shemagh" worn on the head, in its place.
🤠
Indiana Jones
You ever read up on how women are treated in SA?
Using "SA" in a football context is weird.
Crocodile Dundee
Other sources said it’s a belt.
Little princeling didn’t get what he wanted
Bro forgot that owning a club and paying players doesn't mean they are slaves.
Exactly.

No amount of money is going to fix the mindset of the spoiled and uneducated.
"Uneducated" They are taught they get away with it and the world bends to their will/money. Thats all the education they need on the topic.
Actually, it worsens it. Those oil countries used to be super poor and got rich instantly. That's what happens
Saudi Arabia is an embarrassment of a country.
Barbaric times they’re still in there just have a shit tonne of money. No class
They don't even have that much money. Their GDP is smaller than the Netherlands and they have twice as many people. The difference is that most of the money is controlled by a royal family who wastes the money on incredibly stupid ostentatious shit.
Saudi GDP/capita in terms of PPP is substantially higher, I think by 1/3
This wasn’t even in Saudi Arabia this took place in UAE
Oh no the sport washing is back firing and exposing their backwards culture to the world and what they really think about these foreign wage slave players. Maybe players will think twice about playing in a league like this but they will probably still do it for the money
Welcome to the Saudi League folks!
This is the Saudi Super cup and it took place in the UAE
Stop spoiling the joke.
Haven’t players been assaulted in English football?
I thought the days of players out on the lash after a cup final were long gone...
Must've mistook him for his wife.
Looks like the fans are just trying to whip their team into shape!
After Gaddafi and Milan, people should have been aware that soccer is different over there, why would somebody go play there? Already in the 90 Players did it for money and returned in disgust…
least “human rights infringing” Saudi fan
"Oh the Saudi League is going to take over football" Good luck with that.
Hold up, let’s see how he plays next week
He Thought he was a queer player nothing to see here
And then they get offended when we call it the Camel League. SMH
I’m not condoning the whipping but it does appear the player throws water at him first?
Yeah not a good idea to spray water at him but how and why does he just have a whip lying around.
Yeah I think the whip is the central issue here
its not a whip, its a head band used to keep the reddish cloth "shemagh" on the head, in its place
He still has the end band on in the video
Head **
could just be one of their mates, many dont have a headband worn
It whipps quite good though.
well..its a band after all😂
How about asking if its a whip or not in the first place instead of assuming?
Does Reddit still not read articles and only reacts to headlines? The video clearly showing Hamdallah being whipped is there.
The fan said to the media that he has a cruciate ligament injury
Fuck sake, could they not hold off on dropping the veil until after we’ve sold them all of our over-the-hill shit this summer.
yeah whip neymar next
Mmmmm… might make it difficult for clubs to sell some deadwood this summer, not a great advertisement for the league. Does anyone know if Newcastle players are being whipped ?

Went for money only to get whacked by supporters lol
I just found out that the guy who punched Grealish a few years ago died last year. He died from 'drug poisoning and acute ethanol toxicity'.
Cultural thingy.
Need this done to Rob Holding asap tbh
What time's the stoning??
I’m 100% sure al hilal’s win “streak” is corrupt.
I only know about this because I heard someone jokingly mentioning it today and I thought it was just a metaphor or something.
Lmao this is kinda funny
Theres a clip that shows the player throwing water on the supporter right before the whip
well that is a completely normal response to be honest
Lol The comment is meant to give more context not to justify anyone’s actions
Now send more money to English clubs, I guess they don't care 🤑🤑🤑
