Very Away Game? Steelers Penetrate Iran Protests

Protests raged on today in Iran as the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, declared a "definitive victory" for President Mahmo... hey is that guy wearing a Steelers jersey? Yes. Yes he is! He is definitely wearing a Steelers jersey! Goooo Steeeeee-lahs!

Iranian Protest

In what has to be an attempt to instill fear in the hearts of his oppressors, this valiant man figuratively let his hair down and donned the jersey of one the most feared NFL defensive players on the planet -- Troy Polamalu.

Thanks to our friends at Deadspin -- via PSAMP -- for spotting that guy's undeniable awesomeness.

3. Is this the protest in response to the same election that Obama took credit for? For going so "smoothly and peaceful?" Too bad at last count 8 people have killed during this "peaceful" process that Obama took credit for. Now the jacka$$ is just sitting back and letting the thugs steal an election that he endorsed. What a complete dumbass. Can't wait to kick this pansya$$ Socialist back to his "communities" that he didn't "organize" in '12!!!!!

4. Once the current Iranian regime is deposed, we're hoping for a Roethlisberger/Polamalu leadership there.

5. Way to make light of a violent and deadly event that is currently going on in the world TMZ. Obama fully backed this election and its result, but he doesn't seem to have a problem with innocent people voicing their opinions to a false outcome getting slaughtered.

Way to continue to show your heartless, true colors Harvey

6. funny how the conservative assholes make their way here to bash something happening in a different country. Yes we know you are all warmongering idiots, but I think it's great that the US is keeping its nose out of their business and letting them work through their own issues. If we still had Bush in office, he would have bombed them already to get their oil, I mean instill a Democracy.

7. They are probably pissed that Obama stopped being a Muslim at 31 years old and joined his racist black church instead so he could get elected. He dounced his natural faith and the Muslims are upset about it. His 12 year old boy mustache he attempted to grow while he was over there was probably equally as insulting to them as well.

13. That is absolutely hilarious! The NFL, NBA, and MLB have really gone global with more and more fans popping up all around the world. There was some report that Manu Ginobli of the San Antonio Spurs was the most worldly recognizable person from Argentina.

15.
We didn't invade Iraq to take their oil. We invaded Iraq to stop a tyrant and install democracy. Ha
Why haven't we invaded Cuba (communist dictatorship) or China (remember Tiananmen Square ?).
