@NYCASP me reading this tweet mid-rowing my car to the other side of the street.

Now that the 2026 World Cup has come to an end, I want to share something that means everything to me as a woman born and raised in Iran under the Islamic Republic regime.

We were always banned from entering football stadiums. If we tried, we risked being beaten, arrested, or even killed.

The most pivotal moment for me was walking into SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and watching a football match from the stands for the first time. Here in the USA, women can go freely, sit wherever they want, hold their drink and hot dog, laugh, and truly enjoy the game, something I could never do in my home country.

So many people in America don’t appreciate their freedom because they have no idea what it’s like to live under the Islamic regime in Iran or as a woman in Iran or Afghanistan.

To anyone living in freedom: You don’t truly value these rights until they’re taken away. And once they’re gone, it’s too late.

Note to self: don’t apply lip gloss right before eating a croissant.

Unless you want buttery flakes stuck to your face all day

Mbappé just because you invented the Mbappé special does not mean you have to serve it tonight

Turns out wearing my Les Bleus jersey in Spain while Spain beats France is a special kind of self-inflicted pain.

@ScooterMagruder I should just expect all my teams to choke AT&T stadium when it matters
