Speaking of women and outrage:

Saudi Arabia ‘sorry’ for promotional footage of women wrestlers

Saudi Arabia’s sport authority has apologised for the appearance of scantily clad women during a wrestling broadcast.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) held matches in Jeddah, billed as its Greatest Royal Rumble.

Men and women attended, although no female wrestlers were allowed to take part in the fights.

But state television cut off its broadcast of the event when promotional footage showing female wrestlers aired.

The footage rolled on giant television screens around the arena during the fight.

Saudi General Sports Authority apologised for what it described as “indecent scenes”.

What happened was, even though no women were allowed on the show, and WWE did not bring any women at all, during the show they aired one of their in-program video inserts of some of their female talent speaking about how great things are.

Apparent the image of these (mix of married and single) women, heads uncovered, in the video stream was too much.
