True to form, the ridiculous Iranian government in Tehran is attempting to bar Iranian women sports supporters from cheering on the nation's Football and volleyball team in public, alluding to concern over immorality as an excuse.
Last week, more than a dozen disappointed Iranian women and girls camped right outside Tehran's Azadi Stadium's closed gates. Their only demand to the regime was a chance to cheer on the Iranian Volleyball team during its game against Brazil. But because of the Iran's Islamic rule, these women were all banned from attending the match.
Whenever stories such as this one is brought up to the attention of people living in other countries, especially western countries, many raise their eyebrows in shock. How can such a thing be happening in any country.The sad part about all of this is that it was only Iranian women who were not allowed at the Brazil vs Iran Volleyball match while visiting Brazilian women were not only able to get in the stadium but sit comfortably next to men and cheer on the Brazilian Volleyball team.
Iranian sports fans in general are experiencing more obstacles than usual when it comes to watching the sports they love. Cinema owners had wished to organize screening for the current World Cup Football games but the commander of Iran's security service, General Ahmadi Moghadam, declared right away that males and females would not be allowed to watch these football match in the same Cinema halls. After it was announced that the sexes would have to be separated, Cinema owners give up on their plans.
