I have a feeling the ladies are going to have more balls to boycott/speak out against this than the men did with Qatar's controversies. Anyone else get that feeling?

Ehh maybe, a sponsorship is a smaller issue than everything that came with Qatar hosting and the women are more reliant on WC income more than the men.

And that's the "other hand" in my initial thought. A lot of these women need the income from the WC. It would be interesting to see who makes any sort of protests. The women who rely on the income, or the stars.

I think this will turn into a fuck around and find out for the Saudis, and I don't think they will be happy. Especially the women's soccer players will turn this into a nightmare for them.

TBF it’s in Australia & New Zealand, so there’s no chance of getting poisoned and dying over saying something.
