You’ve gotta be pretty insecure to have a complete breakdown over a minor issue. Really makes Irans government appear weak.
Yeah, all this does is broadcast weakness. It’s a pathetic reaction.
Islamists are fragile nut cases
As much as I despise islam/Iran, it has nothing to do with weakness. It's a religion thing. It's one of the core principles of Islam to hate the Jews. It's literally in the very first of the Quran. Former Muslim here.
"The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace[4] , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger [5] (i.e. those who knew the Truth, but did not follow it) nor of those who went astray (i.e. those who did not follow the Truth out of ignorance and error)."
And here is the whole thing. Read 7 and what's under it.
Edit: even though this doesn't mention Jews per se, there are other "tafaseer" (which means translations of the Quran by different "experts") that put as Jews alongside Christians and whomever doesn't believe in Islam. Their beef with the Jews goes back thousands of years.
Soft as puppy shit
Where have you been?
Djeezus... Sports should be above politics. Shitty stuff.
Yeah none of that politics stuff like how Jackie Robinson playing baseball definitely wasn't political, and the US vs Soviets 1980 Olympics definitely wasn't politically charged, and people definitely were expressing their dislike of the Soviets during the game or the entire point of the Olympics being a peaceful gathering of nation states for competition ia definitely not political, or all the taxpayer money that goes to building stadiums also isnt political, or that the owners of sports teams are politically active isnt... political. Oh... wait.
They said, it should be, not that it is.
Eh I tend to find that nothing is truly apolitical. Everything that exists is affected by politics. If you start looking you can find how politics plays a role in everything.
Like this bottle of Coke I'm currently drinking. The corn syrup used in it is super cheap because the agriculture industry is heavily subsidized to grow corn, the logos and branding falls under trademark and copyright law, the plastic that makes up the bottle has regulations on the types of plastic used and can only use food safe plastics, and that plastic is a product of petroleum, so fossilr fuel lobbying isninvolved too, the water that Coca Cola uses could very well have come from a source that was plundered by a PMC (look up Nestle for that one) and stolen from locals. And then just because I throw the bottle into recycling, doesn't mean as soon as it leaves my hand that it's properly handled along the entire processing and doesn't just end up in a landfill anyway. And that's not talking about all the different lobbyists from all the various industries that play a role in making, shipping and disposing of a bubbly brown liquid in a bottle made of polymerization petroleum.
I do agree, but I also imagine, they did not literally mean that politics should never occur in all of sports.
They probably meant that sports competitions should be held with mutual respect, independent of politics. If you can't shake someone's hand, you're not either going to be cool with them winning, so there's a big risk of you not competing fairly. That's the bare minimum where politics need to be kept out of sports.
Mutual respect and being apolitical are definitely not the same things. Like I said, politics has always been a part of sports.
They are opposed to even the most basic form of civility. Yeah, we already knew that, this just makes it clear to the doubters.
"Unforgivable". These idiots...
Meanwhile, Iran actually has a seat in parliament that is reserved for a Jewish representative.
That's Iran-ic
I'll show myself out
We refuse to normalize Zionist settlers.
