«United States soccer captain Tyler Adams shut down an Iranian reporter who confronted him on human rights at a press conference ahead of the highly anticipated World Cup match between Team USA and Iran on Tuesday.
While the controversy of Qatar hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup has received most of the headlines, another one has brewed between geo-political rivals Iran and the United States, who find themselves in the same group this tournament.
Iran demanded that the United States should be kicked out of the World Cup after the Twitter account for the United States Men’s National Team posted the standings for group B and left out the Islamic Republic emblem in the Iranian flag.
The US soccer officials removed the emblem in support of protests over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was killed after being arrested by Iran’s morality police for wearing “inappropriate” clothing.
“We wanted to show our support for the women in Iran with our graphic for 24 hours,” the American team said in a statement to Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports.»

I wish TYT would stop spreading racism…I am willing to debate anyone on why racism does not exist anymore in America. Bring it on TYT, I'll make you look like fools. There will be individuals who are racist across the world, but those are just some people out of billions so you should stop getting butt hurt when someone says something racist. I am a POC, I was called racial slurs when I was a little kid but never complained because I just thought of them as another simple minded human, you've got to get into this mindset. You only need to worry about systemic racism, which we don't have, like I said I am willing to debate anyone. I will show you that the black sub-culture is the issue that is causing the disparities for the black community. Most other minorities and immigrants do extremely well due to having a value centered culture. I said black-SUBCULTURE is the issue, the mindset of being a single mother is good, Thuggin, gangbanging, no interest in education, prioritize crime over legitimate ways of making money, etc…However, if they just transitioned to true black culture and getting away of the sub-culture, the disparities
It is changing for the better though, more young black Americans are going conservative who believe in the rule of law and order, community, respect, easier to start black owned businesses, etc.,..Trump has done way more things for the black community than Biden who is extremely racist.
Wouldn’t we expect American reporters to ask similarly tough questions of Iranian athletes about their government? And aren’t reporters supposed to ask tough questions?
I dislike the behavior of USA. Us is not the land of the free at all. US must apologize to Japan Vietnam and Iran for having dropped two atomic bombs having invaded illegally and having caused coup to ruin Iranian government in 1953.F※ck off US
As an American, although I despise racism, it's hard for me not to bite my own tongue when Adams is confronted with a question about human rights from a reporter in a country where women are beaten to death in jail cells for not wearing their headscarves.
I RAN. I RAN. I RAN. I RAN. I RAN.
Brilliant young man. At his age I wouldn't have know how to handle the question and even now not as well as he did.
I RAN or YOUR RAN doesn't matter stupid 😆😆
Is Iran try to help their people and children not to starve?
Was the reporter trying to provoque the player to get a space to talk about his country's issues? talk or excuse, I found him very defensive, his question is almost like a set up to open a discussion about his country's current situation….the soccer player gave a great answer in a excellent manner, did not respond to the provocation 👏
We are ever learning and we will continue to show the inherited DNA of Love that God continue to command us to do. Love is more powerful than hate
How is this question provocative? As a progressive, I believe discrimination should be called out everywhere you go.
"Ra!!!!!cism is everywhere and has been part of every society everywhere" has been a k!k!k!onservative justification FOR ra!!!!!!cism. Ana, you should be aware of that.
Also, Tyler Adam's apology is the appropriate and proper response in this situation. We apologize for mispronouncing a person's name. Why would it be something deserving of praise when one apologizes for mispronouncing a country's name?
Also, why would a reporter from Iran NOT qualified to ask a question about racial discrimination? Is the subtext that a reporter is responsible for his or her country's governance? Should that reporter apologize for what the Iranian government has done?
Literally Iran asking about discrimination in 2022 😂
That Iranian reporter has the nerve to say anything about our country. Their country is horrible.
He should of brought up something about gay people 😂
Z
I mean are we really about to compare discrimination or even human rights between the US and Iran? Lol
The progress element could be debated? Seriously? Does this moron really not know the history here? The fact that Tyler is representing his country is exhibit A dumbass.
i want the name of that reporter
Handled it WELL?? LOL. How about him having this response " I apologize for calling your country by the wrong name. Now about your question. If I had a problem with it I wouldn't be here so no, I'm a soccer player, not a politician. I have certain beliefs and even problems with some things in my country but this isn't the time or place. Now, Let me ask you a question Mr.???. OK, Are you proud to be an E-RONIAN journalist when your people are being tortured and murdered for standing up for human rights by your country? I'm here to play soccer and you are here to cover soccer. Ask me a question about the game or get lost." When did Americans start being so candy a—d. Our players were intimidated by the location of the games. I would have loved to have seen this journalist act like this with John Wayne, FDR, Ronald Reagan, Steve McQueen, Jim McMahon or even JFK. He would have been read the riot act. Welcome back to 1979 America. The world disrespects us and we get praised for being passive. Maybe we can have another 1980 moment with our hockey team where we don't bow to the greatest team on earth but kick their butts, maybe we have another prez who says f you to the Russians when they give us a BS prisoner swap. Maybe we can have another day where our prez tells the Russians to get missels out of Cuba or we're gonna light you a—s up like a candle.
Our school competed against Tyler’s school and he always head strong and very soft spoken.
That's why Tyler Adam is a captain
To Iranian reporter. Are you OK that your government killing protester? Why you do not ask that to your leader.
Lol he asked a mixed kid that plays soccer about racial discrimination that's hilarious 😂
he was asking what he feels about the oppression in america, because america were the ones who caused the oppression in iran.
Very diplomatic
