These Iranian guys are very sensitive.
“The federation had temporarily displayed Iran’s national flag on its official Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts without the emblem of the Islamic Republic. A now-deleted graphic of the Group B standings posted on Saturday displayed the Iranian flag only bearing its green, white and red colors.
“US Soccer told CNN on Sunday that it wanted to change the official flag for 24 hours to show “support for the women in Iran fighting for basic human rights” but always planned to go back to the original flag.”
But on the other hand, why does US Soccer have the right to mess with someone else’s flag, whatever the cause? And who within “US Soccer” has the right to represent the whole entire U.S. in making any particular protest?
I think I would be pretty pissed if someone messed with the American flag.
This is apparently the image with the distorted Iranian flag.
