From Newser:
Some rear action has landed cheeky soccer players in trouble with Iranian officials. Two players are being fined $37,000 each and suspended from their Persepolis team for a celebratory "butt squeeze" following a goal against Damash Gilan in a televised game.
The "shameless act upset, angered, and outraged" Iranian sports fans, said cleric Jalal Yahyazadeh, who is a member of parliament in the nation where homosexuality is illegal. "What happened is absolutely not acceptable because it was a very ugly thing."
Look if ass-grabbing or slapping was homo than every ball player in the world would be a flamer. I mean come on in baseball alone the butt swat is a time-honored tradition. I mean we don't live in a country where being gay is illegal, but for fucks sake Iran, if your people want to celebrate with a little cupping of an ass cheek Ari Gold style, who cares?
I will admit that they can probably think up a straighter celebration though. Try doing a flip or something man.
Sports, Music, Pop Culture, Philosophy and whatever else I can think of to write about
