Just a reminder of how oppressive Islamic regimes can be. For disguising herself as a man, so she could sneak into a stadium to watch her favorite soccer team, she was arrested and was facing prosecution with a potential sentence of 6 months to 2 years in prison.

I think this happens all the time over there...

May she Rest In Peace. She may be the spark that sets the nation on fire like the street vendor in Tunisia that started the Arab Spring....................

[xp38]

That’s a diehard fan.

[SkyDancer]

...has shocked Iranian officials???

But they were going to put her in prison. They're shocked????

[PGalt]

Condolences to family and friends of Sahar Khodayari.

[hal ogen]

What a pathetic society .

[PapaBear3625]

She realized that she would be “honor killed” anyway.

Imagine giving up your life for a gay ass sport like soccer.

Imagine giving up your life for a gay ass sport like soccer.

I'd immolate myself if I was risking a sentence of 6 months watching soccer.

Took out a Iranian muslim and a soccer fan in one fell swoop, good job!

[fuzzylogic]

Either a mentally ill woman or an extremely brave one, maybe both. We’ll see how much of a nerve she struck, it might be that there’s an entire movement of women that have had enough....could get interesting.

[GingisK]

Muslims and mental illness are closely entwined.

[Cen-Tejas]

.…...I see your point and it’s a valid one but this young lady, as mentally ill as she CLEARLY was, gave her life up primarily for “principle”.

That part of her ACT was brave and noble and I hope most of us here on FR will respect her for that.

ban on women entering stadiums for men’s games

Amazing how the lefty feminists love them some muslims.

[KobraKai]

Call me cynical, deranged, even mean... I just laughed when I read the headline.

Why has FIFA allowed Iran to be a member of FIFA when women can’t attend games?

[neverevergiveup]

That’s a very good question. My guess, in part, is because there is so much Islamic nation money in world football.

[existentially_kuffer]

There is nothing good about an islamic government run by the unholy Koran.

So bribery is OK so long it's done by a state ?
