Don’t Buy: “Retiring” Iranian Soccer Players

This is the Iranian Men’s Nation Soccer team. Four of these players wore green wrist bands in support of Mir Hossein Mousavi at their last match. They have recieved life-time bans retired from the team.
How about some post-game analysis?
Iran’s government is completely exposed, it seems like most people agree with the protesters, insane amounts of media coverage on the global stage.
How do you gain sympathy for your establishment?
Life-time bans. Retirement? Brilliant.
Final score::
Iran Soccer: 4, Iran Government: Nil
Man of the match: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, shine on you crazy diamond.
People say they don’t like or understand twitter but it has given a voice to the voiceless. You gotta respect that.
