Hell even basketball in which I though we had that licked for another 50 years we cant even hang anymore.

I dont know its frustrating to me. The sad thing is they are using American universities like MIT to help them with this project. Just goes to show you what you what you can do if you dont take all your wealth and use it to blow up the world. Congrats to the UAE for being a leader.
