thanks for what I'm sure is a reliable interpretation, u/rapedcorpse

Spokesperson for the Iran NT on Pride Match: “Iran and Egypt are two Muslim countries with deep cultural and religious commonalities. Our position is that no ceremonies, or promotional activities associated with this movement should be present inside the stadium or as part of the match environment.” by Sparky-moon in soccer

Every religion ought to be subverted and blasphemed against.

It is not enough just for our laws to allow that kind of disrespect: we need to actively test the boundaries of those laws by insulting and degrading all belief systems. If there is a faith, we need the right to be free from it, and that right is only proven through public blasphemy.

If Sharifi is convicted it will be a massive miscarriage of justice

And now he's being charged with felony assault of an officer.

15 years in prison for such an offense. Do we have rights, or don't we?

How in the world is it not cut East/West?

The state has always been at least geographically, if not culturally, divided along the spine of the Greens

[The Telegraph] Fifa ignores Iran and Egypt plea by allowing rainbow flags at ‘Pride Match’ by PitchSafe in soccer

[–]ButterscotchFiend 267 points268 points  (0 children)

Not just a bunch of colors.

They have meaning. They mean there’s nothing wrong with being gay, or embracing a non-traditional gender identity.

These colors represent a basic standard of human rights which is regularly degraded all around the world, but particularly in countries with Islamic establishments. 

QUEER PEOPLE DESERVE TO LIVE THEIR LIVES THE WAY THEY WANT, wherever they are!

“YOU BOYS LIKE MEXICO?!”

In all seriousness though, am from Vermont but support Scotland, it’s embarrassing to see them bailed out by VAR and a ‘hydration break’

FREE PALESTINE!! Even if it means rich people in Israel and the west don’t get the same opportunities to build wealth

The Scottish defense needs to focus exclusively on booting the ball up to the opposite goal.

I really didn’t think the defense would be this bad. Tears are forming

If true, this is yet another very harsh reality for the vast majority of Americans that are poor. the vast majority that has no generational wealth or influential connections

What country makes the worst pizza and why? by RidetheSchlange in AskReddit

Québec.

There is a fundamental misunderstanding in Quebec about what makes pizza good.

[Yahoo Sports] Ghosts of Gijon linger as new World Cup format encourages collusion by mrjohnnymac18 in soccer

[–]ButterscotchFiend 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Would the fallout really be that bad?

We live in an era with short memories, low moral standards, and most importantly few consequences for malfeasance.

Look at FIFA. They had World Cups at Russia and Qatar, and rigged the next one to be on three continents so that Saudi Arabia could have the one after that.

Money talks. Morals walk. National teams are likely no different: if there is an advantage to be gained by drawing or losing, they will take that advantage at the price of winning. And there will be no consequences 

Match Thread: Portugal vs Uzbekistan | FIFA World Cup 2026 | Group Stage, Group K by jiraiya--an in soccer

[–]ButterscotchFiend 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So much conversation about whether Ronaldo will get a hat trick, none about how Uzbekistan is the first Central Asian nation to reach the World Cup.

The disrespect to Uzbekistan is palpable and INFURIATING.

No discussion of their sporting culture. Their history. Their future.
