KFC want to host a anti-chicken farming convention.

[–] RespectTheH@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Unironically KFCs vegan food is top tier amongst the fast food companies.

[–] totallynewhere818@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Top tier among fast food is like the brightest person in a kindergarten?

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.

[–] Hoosayne-2001@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] Rrkies@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

How is that going to work?

[–] kalamari__@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I only have to think about the news we had here, when we had our first female referee in the bundesliga, and they never showed her in TV and in some cases even didnt show the whole match. its hilarious.

do they have a womens team now? or was that qatar?

[–] galinha_fofa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] redditaccountplease@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why would the women go to a country that gives them such little rights. This is insulting

[–] Maleficent-Drive4056@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (9 children)

What rights don’t women have in Saudi Arabia?

This has to be satire

[–] Successful_Basket399@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Was not expecting to read this bullshit today, lol piss off 😂

[–] thebagmanchicanery@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Do I laugh or cry

[–] prettybunbun@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I presume all of the female footballers will have to have their husband accompany them to the games or when they want to go outside?

Fucking disgrace.

[–] DrinksandDragons@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think that’s the point. MBS continues to piss off the Mullahs by relaxing Islamic laws, so now women can drive, their dress code has been relaxed, they no longer have to be segregated from men, the guardianship rules have been relaxed, the Saudis are investing in golf, football, and they are trying to normalize relationships with Israel. It can’t happen overnight but by slow walking reforms, Saudi Arabia is trying to surreptitiously “Westernize”

[–] russet852@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You must’ve missed my use of the word “percentage.” Let’s be real here. There could be 0 gay fans at a Men’s World Cup and attendance would still be really strong if not through the roof. You can’t say the same for the Women’s World Cup. There’s actually a TikTok of a few women at an Angel City game and they set out to find a straight female fan at the game (spoiler alert: they eventually succeed only for that straight woman to come out of the closet by the next time they run into her around a year later).

This also doesn’t touch on the media. Many of the leading journalists covering the women’s game are members of the LGBTQ+ community. Are they going to Saudi Arabia to cover the tournament?

Mohamed bIn Salman : “By 2035 SA will be a paradise for woman and lesbians, no gays though.”

[–] filing69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
