An Emirati national complied fully with the decision of his country to sever diplomatic ties with Qatar by smashing his beIN Sports receiver and other equipment at home, according to Almarsd newspaper.
“These Qatari channels equipment and our Shaikhs have boycotted Qatar. So our duty is to smash them in support of our Shaikhs and other GCC states,” he said in a video which was posted online.
He then took what seemed to be a hammer or a rod and started smashing the decoder.
UAE telecommunication providers on Monday stopped offering the Qatari-owned sports network beIN.
