Iranian soccer players could face lashing after victory groping
Two Iranian soccer players who engaged in “inappropriate” celebratory behavior during a game broadcast on national television might face public lashings on the pitch, the semiofficial Fars News Agency reported Tuesday.
Members of parliament, sports officials and judges have called for the “swift punishment” of Mohammad Nosrati and Sheys Rezaei, two soccer stars who play for one of Iran’s most popular clubs, Tehran-based Persepolis.
If they lash PERSEPOLIS players, a massive number of iranian teenagers will become homophobic. This is a way bigger deal than it seems like.
