    Hi guys,

    Two football friends have put together a petition that you can sign.

    I have written more about it on my website here:

    http://www.lastkick.com/?p=832

    Please read about it and pass it along to others who may also be interested.

    Best regards,

    Afshin

    Hey guys,

    Since the online petition as gone up I have had a number of conversations with friends who were pessimistic about the whole deal.

    I wrote a response to all the arguments on LastKick. Let me know what you think.

    Do you really think it will have the slightest bit of chance?

    Honestly I have no idea. But I know for a fact we won't know for sure if we do not try.

    done^^

    my persian friend told me when she went back to Tehran for vacation she wore hood and snuck inside of Azadi to watch football match. they should let ladies watch also.

    can't imagine myself trying to sneak in to a sports event... unless... i had school obligation lol

    Seems like the power of the online petition is overestimated once again.

    I think the only "power" any petition has is in the area of rasing awareness. It is more likely for people to read about something before they put their names to it. Also, it will let the other side know that there are people who do not agree with them on the issue.

    Other than that, there is not much else, or is there?

    I collected these pictures off a couple of sites today. I think they speak volumes.
