Saudis be hatin' on beer

The Saudis refuse to allow any of their World Cup players to be awarded the "Man of the Match" award because the award is sponsored by a brewer. Now, I could understand if they were boycotting because the sponsor is a particularly crappy brewer — that being the aforementioned Anheuser Busch — but no, they think all alcohol is evil. It baffles me how major world religions can rise to prominence by banning fun.
