Cultural Boycotts?

The recent crisis with Iran and its nuclear research program has got some people calling for "cultural and sports boycotts" against the nation. Read more about it on CNN.

I was in Lyon, France in 1998 to see the USA - Iran World Cup match. The Iranian fans there were the warmest, most enthusiastic people I have ever met. It would be a crime to lock them out of another World Cup because of what their government is doing. No one punishes us for having a shitass president!

Soccer and government should remain separated. Governments divide people, the World Cup brings them together.
