Do you think Iran will make good on their threat and boycott the pride match that's sceduled for today?

[KostasKouvalis]

I hope they DO! Their honor and dignity should be more important than winning the World Cup.

Word on the street is, Egypt might be boycotting too. That would be very interesting how the forfiet would work if they did.

And the reaction from the fans and organizers who would probably have to refund them.

God, I hope they make good on their threat and send a message and inconvenience a lot of people.

They WILL

They WON'T

They played the match. I guess the city comprimised with FIFA and agreed to have pride imagery banned inside the stadium

[purplepoppy]

I just don't get you people. The world cup is supposed to be non political so what idiot thought shoving a pride event down the throats of 2 countries opposed to it is a good idea? It's plain disrespectful and feels likes it's just being done to provoke a reaction

[FrodoSkywalker007]

@purplepoppy does fifa ever make sense?

[KostasKouvalis]

The mayor/city council of Seattle. Supporters of it claim it was already planned as a Pride Match before they knew who would be playing. Infantino must've been given a share in Starbucks in exchange for allowing it.

I thought you were Liberal, so I'm surprised you're against it. Who are you rooting for by the way with Wales not in it?

[purplepoppy]

I'm Liberal but I think stuff like this is stupid because it just gets weaponised by the far right. It does more harm than good. Not a football fan but I'd have to go with Scotland

[stalk-stopper]

The pride thing also doesn't make sense. It is just a new form of rigidity teaching kids to be more sexually fixated than they want.

[Snakeyes7]

This is Seattle we are talking about. Whoever said anything they did made sense?

[Pantyking]

I agree that it's being done to provoke a reaction, we are living in a time where leaders and people of influence are acting very childish!!

[Levin]

The NHS seems to fly a pride flag, too. I was watching a news report and thought it a bit odd.

They seem to like flying pride flags and Palestinian ones at those protests. But not British. Seems odd.

[KostasKouvalis]

What's NHS?

[Levin]

The national harm service.

[AviatorTom]

I wish they both had boycotted the match... But they didn't. They played to a 1-1 draw.

It was ridiculous for the City of Seattle to force its leftist liberal philosophy on guests to its city, knowing that those guests violently oppose it. But then, that's what libtards do... screw others, I'm the only one that's important.

[Lesbologist]

I heard something about this... wasn't it Iran and Egypt or some shit like that? Why they picked a couple of the most anti-gay countries for that makes about as much sense as queers for Palistine to me.

I think the woke people that make that shit up are genuinely retarded.

[KostasKouvalis]

They planned if before they knew who would be playing

[Kvass]

They won't. Iran has a record of empty threats. They don’t have the balls to stand by their word, Iran itself is gay lol.

[KostasKouvalis]

I think so too, considering they were gonna boycott the Cup and didn't

[Kvass]

We'll see

[KostasKouvalis]

It kind of is. They have more trannies per capita than any other country

[Kvass]

Ohhh lol. It’d be fun to see them in the crowd at the match

[KostasKouvalis]

Or the Queers For Palestine

[MerakSahibi]

Iran accepts transgender people; however, same-sex relationships are against the law. The two are different from each other.

[KostasKouvalis]

Weird

Elham Sadeghi, the Iranian mother was trapped under the rubble of the American and Israeli bombardment for seven hours.

She could hear her child living out the final moments of their life, saying, "Mom, I'm thirsty," and she could do nothing to help. After she was eventually pulled out from under the rubble, she learned that her husband and children had all been killed in the bombing, leaving her the sole survivor.

Two months later, she succumbed to grief and went to join them. Is this the war that America wanted?

[Zack-Bann]

If there will be rainbow decorations then who cares.
But if they will be asked to carry the flags themselves then I think there will be a problem.


They can refuse to do it, what will the mayor do? Have them arrested? On what charges? Not wanting to wave some flag? Good look getting a conviction.

[KostasKouvalis]

There shouldn't even be rainbow decorations

[Zack-Bann]

That’s a separate issue that doesn’t concern Iran or Iraq

[molonski2]

It's ludicrous that pride march had any place in this event , just idiotic..

Bad , bad , bad idea knowing who it would upset.

Shame , not pride for gays and Kattoy.

[Miristheiss]

Pride match?

These stupid social activists forcing their sex shit down peoples throats are insufferable.

[choco-latte]

Why are they making the pride match the one between the two most anti-LGBT teams/fans?

[choco-latte]

I don’t get it, FIFA is not even allowing the pre-revolution flag inside the stadiums at Iran matches on the request of the Iranian football federation, but now they’re making their match a pride one?

[genericname85]

i sure hope they will. cause these narcissist, totalitarian, socialist scumbags already got way too much attention.

[CyberGhost615]

As a gay man, I hope they do.

[KostasKouvalis]

Interesting

[CyberGhost615]

I don’t care for pride and imho, your rights end when it intrudes on another’s rights

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah

[mrkdvsn]

I hope as many countries as possible decide to boycott

[Just_Ken]

Left wingers dont get that muslims are anti lgbtq

[Anonymous]

Something something terrorists
Something something el grande bataclan

[RavVid]

Iran will. Egypt will take the win

[_Jenny_]

They will or at least try

[Soapsoaplady]

Bigot you are

[KostasKouvalis]

So? What's wrong with that?

[Soapsoaplady]

Get a life

[Pantyking]

I believe that they are arrogant enough to do so!!

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Funny!
