Saudi footballer facing legal action after dabbing during match on live TV

FOOTBALLERS have taken celebrations to a whole new level, with Paul Pogba inspiring thousands of youngsters to dab.

But a Saudi footballer is likely to feel the full force of the law for dabbing during a match, as the act is illegal in the country.

Instead of high-fiving an official in the technical area, the unidentified footballer chose to dab in full view of the cameras.

But dabbing is banned in Saudi Arabia, as hard-line religious cops claim the move promotes drug culture.

According to the BBC, even the commentator can be heard expressing his displeasure, saying ‘No, no, no’.

Social media was, of course, awash with reactions to the player’s actions, some condemned his dabbing, while others claimed it was ‘no big deal’.

Earlier this year a popular Saudi Arabian singer was arrested for dabbing during a concert.

The trend is believed to have been started in Atlanta by rappers and soon caught on worldwide.

Paul Pogba is renowned for dabbing and encourages youngsters to celebrate with the same move.

His good friend Jesse Lingard has also been spotted dabbing, but mixes up celebrations, labelling his latest moves the ‘shmoney dance’.

Celebrities, worldwide, have jumped on the ‘dabbing’ bandwagon with sport stars and politicians alike carrying out the move.
