Etemad Newspaper: Mr. Kayhan, our footballer is neither a promoter of the regime nor an overthrower.
Etemad: Our footballer is neither a political activist, nor a promoter of the regime, nor an agent of overthrow. He is a young man who is currently at the most critical stage of his life, and millions of Iranians have their eyes on his legs.
Whether our footballer sings an anthem or not, he is both honorable and courageous because he has reached this point through his own efforts and determination, and he earns his living through his own hard work.
Mr. Islamic Republic, Mr. Kayhan, Mr. Cyber Iran International, Mr. Overthrower, and Mr. Protester, focus on your own work and let football do its own thing. You have crossed the line with polarization, hate-mongering, and sowing discord in all fields, and now you have infiltrated football, but you will not gain anything from this. Football is football and belongs to the people; let at least football remain for the people.
