Japanese Soccer Fans Taunt Iranian-American Coach!

Fans clashed at a J-League soccer match after somebody unveiled a banner meant to insult an Iranian-born head coach. The incident took place during Saturday’s match between Shimizu S-Pulse & Júbilo Iwata. Supporters of Iwata made a banner that said “To Ghotbi: Stop Making Nuclear Weapons!” It was meant to mock Shimizu head coach Afshin Ghotbi, an Iranian-American who coached the Iran national team from 2009 to 2011.
