A muñequera verde, tarjeta roja
Their gesture attracted worldwide comment and drew the attention of football fans to Iran's political turmoil. Now the country's authorities have taken revenge by imposing life bans on players who sported green wristbands in a recent World Cup match in protest against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election.
According to the pro-government newspaper Iran, four players – Ali Karimi, 31, Mehdi Mahdavikia, 32, Hosein Ka'abi, 24 and Vahid Hashemian, 32 – have been "retired" from the sport after their gesture in last Wednesday's match against South Korea in Seoul.

Un verdadero gesto de valentía. No me imagino a ningún jugador de fulbo argento protestando contra el gobierno.
Bueno, por lo menos a estos los suspendieron de por vida, no como en Ruanda que a los jugadores de la seleccion que eran de la etnia rival les cortaron las piernas a machetazos.
Les cortaron las piernas como a Maradona en 1994.
