International soccer has had all sorts of problems similar to this. Israel is not allowed to play in their regional soccer league (Asian Football Confederation), and instead plays in UEFA.
Besides soccer, some of the same countries ban Jewish athletes from competing in their countries as well. Some countries won't even let their athletes compete against Jews in international tournaments, including the olympics.
As long as we allow these nations to behave in this disgusting manner, what we saw from Saudi athletes will continue. It gets worse as well, when even Swedish politicians tried to prevent a Jewish athlete from competing.
I posted in another thread that the amount of hate that exists in other countries is staggering, and I wonder how (when they move to another country) the racism that they were taught is supposed to go away?
