   Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.

     @jeffowski People willing to pay for their principles should be much more common than it is.

     Saudi Arabia seems to be set on gobbling up as many sporting events as possible which begs the question, when will Mohammad bin Salmon finally host his International Journalist Dismemberment Competition?
