Iranian soccer players reportedly suspended for wearing green wristbands.

The Huffington Post’s Nico Pitney, who has been liveblogging the Iranian protests all week, reports that an Iranian blogger alleges that the football players who wore green wristbands earlier this week in support of the protests have been suspended. The National Iranian American Council’s blog translates a tweet from Iranian Twitter user “Iranbaan,” a source they trust, who wrote, “The soccer players who were wearing green wristbands in the Iran-South Korea game have been suspended.”
