No sane person should attend the world cup, because fuck USA and fuck FIFA. If you still attend, you must be a moron.
Its amazing how shitty the US is behaving, to the point where the theocratic authoritarian government of Iran is looking like the good guys.
It's an authoritarian theocracy. How the fuck is the bar to be better than them so low, yet they still fuck it up?
I almost wonder if that is a point, to make Iran, the second coming of North Korea, look like a responsible actor
and doing it at the behest of israel to, whom have been salivating on attacking IRAN directly for decades.
Iran murdered Thousands oft protestes a few months ago.
We all know that they don't care about their people.
Not questioning that they killed protesters, but I've yet to see any kind of reputable sources backing up the absurd totals that some have reported.
The US is also an authoritarien theocracy. In god we trust
Most people don't seem to be able to view both sides as bad. I feel for civilians on all sides, because they are the ones dying and suffering. Caught between murderous assholes.
I feel less sorry for the American people, simply because they may have a bad feeling, but the Iranian people are actually dying. And that's at
Feel exactly the same as an american. No one here wanted to get involved. It defies party lines, literally no one wants it. We had the largest protest in our country's history on Saturday and they will do nothing. It wastes billions of our tax dollars while our people can't afford food. Its a couple of dozen people at the absolute top who are pulling the levers here, while ignoring what the people want.

It's not "shitty", that's just pure evil. And then the double tap. US is just pathetic on a whole another scale.
And behaving? It's not the first time they've done something like this.
I hope the world never lets them forget all the atrocities they've caused but we know how the pitty patty moral astroturfing, victim blaming, strawman, narcissism, ignorance that appears every time defending it.
The bar was on the ground, and magats brought a backhoe.

What kind of world do we live in that sports players have to make these statements instead of members of government doing whats needed.
Sports players have a chance to give a message to a very large group of people. More people will see this then if an Iranian member of parliament makes a protest and Iran has condemned the attack numerous times
Hmm i don't wanna make a statement on the matter.
Brother, that is literally your job.
Wow, what a great point 🙄
Same playbook as know gaza. Ok Israel do bad stuff but have you considered Hamas terrorists rape babies?
I even heard they killed 30000 people according to the people that bombed them 2 weeks later

Americans have been posting those "Before the Shah" photos of women in bikinis for so long. I gotta wonder how they're going to respond to a bunch of dead little gi-
Oh, nope. It's racist slurs. They're just screaming slurs.

How long before Trump and the republicans start shouting and calling themselves victims of this “despicable attack?”
As soon as the players kneel during the anthem.
Those might be backpack nukes. We had to take them out. You can never be too cateful...
