Interview was mostly about the difficulty of FIFA treating them poorly. The comment about LGBT was at the very end. I’m not sure if we can share Facebook news links here but it was from Middle East Eye. I hasn’t heard actual team members comment on Seattle Pride before so I thought it was relevant. ‘This is a disastrous World Cup,’ says Iran’s team captain, Mehdi Taremi. Describing the tournament as unfair and criticising FIFA’s logistics, Taremi said FIFA president Gianni Infantino promised to resolve his team’s concerns but failed to deliver. He added that Team Melli respects LGBT people, but said the squad is in the US to focus on football. submitted by /u/black_rose_ |
