Iraqi player to miss world cup qualifiers due to his fears of playing in Iran

[Z Joon]

I don't understand this guy. If he has a US passeport what's the problem? The whole US wrestling team came to Iran and returned without any issue

[Ali Doust]

I dont get it. If the u.s.a wrestling team came to Iran with no problem, why is this Iraqi bad trippin for? I think he is trying to win browny points. Hope Iran just bans his ass for trying to act stupid.

"Despite Iraq being taken off the travel ban list and Justin being an American citizen himself. He is both afraid from treatment in Iran for being American and for treatment in America for having travelled to Iran according to the FA press release.
According to another source Justin will release a statement on Monday."

He's a dumb fuck if he thinks he'll get treated poorly for having an American passport.

in reality, he will very likely face extra scrutiny & bit of delay n hassles @ customs upon re-entry into US due to Iran entry stamp appearing on his US passport, but I don't see any other issues for this wanker ..!

& Fk him anyways, who cares what he feels otherwise

[Farbakhsh]

That's not even worse than the kind of groups and people that some other governments who are allowed to enter the US, support!

If you believe banning these 6 countries have anything to do with supporting terrorism, you are gravely mistaken!

Funnily enough Afghanistan, Saudi, and Egypt don't make the list even though they have a considerable history of terrorists and rapists within their immigrants

Guys, I didn't say we shouldn't add more countries to the list.

Good for him. Nobody cares, they can also play their matches somewhere else if they want to.

How horrible that a sportsman cannot represent his people and pursuit his passion and dreams because of and wrongfully decided policies . I feel sorry for him and all Iranians, Iraqis (now removed from list) and others affected by this racist and discriminatory ban.

They don't threaten to wipe Israel off the map.

[PersianLegion]

Who gives a f...? Whoever likes to travel to Iran, will travel and whoever doesn't want, won't travel there. Why should we care about this?

[pdot]

The only reason for such policies is to eventually tear up the nuclear deal. You make Iran an evil country and you can do whatever you feel like.

That's the point of this.

[OFFSIDE_1]

Let's hope the Chinese also have players afraid to come to Iran

[Ata]

why do ppl talk about iraqi players in a forum för persian football? how is this relevant to our football..

They don't threaten to wipe Israel off the map.

Ahmadinejad did that because he's a moron, and did Rouhani make that same statement too?
