It’s nothing new that athletes like to pat each others’ asses after a good play—but Iranian soccer player Mohammed Nosrati could face a public whipping for grabbing teammate Sheis Rezaei’s butt after a goal.
Both Nosrati and Rezaei, who grabbed another player’s bum later in the game, were immediately suspended, banned from the sport indefinitely and fined nearly $40,000 for “committing immoral acts” on a TV broadcast.
But sources said on Tuesday that the men may also get 74 lashes on the soccer field as well as imprisonment for up to two months.
A muscular, athletic guy getting whipped in a men-only environment? Nope, nothing gay about that.

In fairness, I don’t think you should put your finger in anyone’s ass unless they ask. Imagine if it was a woman teammate he did this to, do you think the reaction would be any less? That’s what I thought..
Both the finger and the first embrace look accidental/harmless. Clearly an overreaction by a country full of deeply sexually and emotionally repressed people.
Looks to me like he was just trying to keep his teammate from falling off, and that the real problem is the teammate who jumped a group of his coworkers while their backs were turned, and with such, er… enthusiasm. 😛
It actually wasn’t Mohammad Nosrati and another “unidentified player” who got suspended. It was Mohammad Nosrati and Sheys Rezaei who got suspended. You have to watch both clips. When the clip above finishes playing and the display of other clips appears, click on the second one in the top row and you will see Rezaei (#13) doing about the same thing to another player that Nosrati had done to him, and that is what got Rezaei suspended too.
ALL 2GETHER NOW!!!! “GIRL I’M GONNA FINGBANG YOU EVERY NIGHT. AND GIRL YOU KNOW YOU’RE THE ONE FOR ME, MY ONLY FANTASY. FINGER BANG, BAN. BANG (3X’S FAST). FEEL FREE 2 ADD 2 THE REST OF THE SONG IF ANYONE KNOWS THE REST. PS THIS IS 2 ALL THE SP FANS!!!
@Riker. I disagree. As you know soccer is the most popular sport in the world. (America)
is not the world. Most of the world would know soccer as “Futbol”.
I thought I would add something to my comment above (No. 9). But first, I wanted to say that I didn’t realize when I posted my last comment that you can also click on “another Persepolis player” in the body of the text and watch that second clip. Nothing happened to either of those two unidentified players you see kissing in that clip. That clip is what got Rezaei (player #13) in trouble along with Nosrati (player #6 in the first clip). That’s why the slow-motion focus is on Rezaei in that second clip. Anyway, here’s what I wanted to add:
In Iran, a soccer match is an all-male event. In Iran, women are prohibited from attending soccer matches. The players are of course all guys, and the fans in the stands are all guys. No women at an Iranian soccer match! That could be the reason why the players feel that maybe they can be a bit free and natural with each other. But maybe sometimes they forget in the heat of the moment that the particular match they’re playing in is being televised. That is the actual reason why Nosrati and Rezaei got in trouble. The match was a televised match, and women were watching at home.
By the way, you should google Mohammad Nosrati and Sheis Rezaei and look at some photos of them. They’re gorgeous guys!
I’m wondering why the focus here is on how hot the guys are. This guys about to get a public lashing. That’s really disturbing – and I think we’re pretty disconnected from reality if all we focus on is whether or not the people involved are sexy.
I honestly don’t think we should jump the gun here about Nosrati and Rezaei having to suffer a public lashing as a consequence of their actions. In my last comment, where I said that Rezaei (#13) has been kicked off the team, I included the link to the article that appeared in the Tehran Times. The Tehran Times is an English-language newspaper published in Tehran, Iran. It is an Iranian newspaper. So I think the article can be viewed as accurate and reliable. If you read the article, I think you will agree that the article is rather “tame” — bearing in mind again that the Tehran Times is an Iranian newspaper. Here again is the link:
A prime example of why you should always get revenge against politicians and religious leaders who violate your human rights, especially when they violate your human rights using religion as an excuse (these politicians and religious leaders presume to stand between you and God/Allah). Just use religion as an excuse to get revenge; that’s the beauty of religion-it can be used to justify anything and everything (“eye-for-an-eye” is a religious teaching). Why should a politician or religious leader be permitted to violate the human rights of millions of people? Weren’t the Nazis hunted down and executed for doing that; isn’t that why the UN was founded? To remind people to put an end to politicians and religious leaders who violate human rights?
I hope State Secretary Clinton has gotten wind of this. The Iraninan Regime is out of control and i am sure this is something clinton would like to know. Iran you don’t have that many sport supremecies. you can’t be killing off your top athletes willy nilly.
@Dan: Iranian is currently under a dictatorship under the current regime. US Secretary Clinton is dealing with aleviating the iranian people from this terrible regime.

The guy on the receiving end has a hair-trigger sphincter. He was probably self-conscious from needing a douche.
dancobbb
AWESOME! Sexy dudes fingering each other. I should save myself the money I spend on PORNO and just watch Iranian soccer. Awesome!
beibereatsdick
soccer is gay anyway so who cares
Drake
I’m sure that the fingering felt no different than what subway riders get in NY or Rome.

For Soccer it’s (futbol) not football.

I’m guessing in Iran they don’t have safe words during public SM demonstrations.

Should we get rid of Iran?

UPDATE: Sheys Rezaeii (#13) has meanwhile been kicked off the team! Here’s the link:

I hope everyone realizes that 74 lashes is basically a very painful death sentence. This is horrible; how sad.

Maybe, but maybe he just wanted to get off the pile and didn’t want any one holding him in place.
