Footballers Only "Joking"

Head of football federation says "indecent joke" blown out of proportion but others want tough punishment

Washington Post: 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 >>>

Joke? Maybe for you guys. Such an deep act is not a locker room fun. This has become so normal in Iran.

Handsome, good looking or feminine look male teenagers are continuously bullied and harassed in an exact same way at all over Iran including classrooms and public. So many people are raped in locker room showers. This is the prerequisite.

Come on guys. Where have you been in your teenage years? Locked at library rooms?

I didn't know Evin Prison had a soccer team

Of course this is a horrible act to be seen on TV and on the field.

However as a guy, I can assure everyone that this is normal "locker room" humor between guys, and especially jocks. Guys pinch, smack, dig, poke, and stroke each other in every orifice using every single appendage available to humiliate and shame the other guy into admitting his gayness or surrendering in total defeat.

This is what guys do, especially when women aren't around.

Let me remind everyone this was a public celebration of a well scored goal. While one player was "piling on" to thank the scorer, a "friend" decided to get even for a similar prank on the previous goal.

Imagine what these blessed perverts do when no one is looking!

If Iran wants to temper this behavior, it can;t now that this one is so well documented, but allowing women to watch the games will possibly keep all of this off the field and in the privacy of the men-only locker room where it sadly still belongs. And thrives!

Punishing it and publicizing it like this, however will have the opposite effect, because now, in fact these guys are "heroes" of the locker room, and god only knows what horrifying pranks will come out next as they try to best this one.

The most delicious part of this is that in a supposedly "Better" society that Iran claims to have, the now worst act in soccer celebration history has been committed.

The gauntlet has now been thrown, god help us!

I condemn such an insensitive act.  Was it a prostate cancer awareness month?  I knew young Iranian teenagers do it as a joke, but adults?!  Grow up guys.
