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?
