Reply to comment by Dangerous--D in Top Iran footballer arrested at club for ‘spreading propaganda against the state’ by rishcast

Got to have these people with platforms stand up so people might learn. Sadly in the US this guy would probably have been hated and lost any shot at play soccer again for doing this, just look at how Kaepernick got treated for what I would say is being even more respectful by just kneeling during the anthem:/

Not a chance. Soccer fandom isn't like football fandom here, how did Seattle and Portland fans react when they were told to stop with the iron front stuff? You see rainbow stuff all over various MLS subcultures, and a wide support base for just about all human rights causes.
