What Are The Gulf States Doing Here???
They don't ride.
Sponsoring a women's team is particularly and very offensive. Given the context of the masked and shrouded women. Just awful.
Why are they there?
Bahrain Victorious is the name of a race horse.
They don't have any race horse riders, either.
They are just even not there in their religiously culturally mandated man dresses.
The sport needs to defend from this - they don't and won't ride.
Who are they?
Oil money - completely against Earth environment concerns.
Totally racist and sexist men.
Why are they there?
