The “Bernstein & Holmes” show on The Score took an emotional turn Wednesday when co-host Leila Rahimi discussed the Iranian national soccer team that competed in the World Cup in the context of the unrest in the country.
CNN reported that families of the team’s players were threatened with imprisonment and torture if the players didn’t “behave” before their match Tuesday against the U.S. Specifically, the team was expected to sing the national anthem, which it did not do before its first game to protest the Tehran regime. That prompted a meeting with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
