    that’s an idiotic take.

    You can be against US interventionism and endless warcrimes. without becoming a fan for the current Iranian regime.

    It isn’t sports.

        implying that you have to pick a side and unconditionally support it.

        Iran doesn’t have to be a beacon of a perfect society in order for it to be wrong to bomb its civilians.

        Telling people they shouldn’t be sympathetic to Iran.

        First, Iran as a country has more parts than just it’s government. Iranian people are friendly and welcoming. Second, Iran never said anything about Pride flags. They said “only officially recognized national flags should be displayed during the team’s games, extending to those flags carried by fans in the stands.”

          Never said that people “shouldn’t be sympathetic to Iran”.

          Second… Good one.
