Remember those soccer players that sported green wristbands at the World Cup? Yeah… they can’t play soccer anymore.
Their gesture attracted worldwide comment and drew the attention of football fans to Iran’s political turmoil. Now the country’s authorities have taken revenge by imposing life bans on players who sported green wristbands in a recent World Cup match in protest against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s disputed re-election.
I’m running out of references to point out the douche-baggery of the Iranian government. Can’t you guys go rescue some puppies, or buy everybody a Big Mac, or something? Give me a day off? No? Still gonna suck? Damn.
