The US team has a right to change the Iranian flag on social media to show support for the protests that their own country has failed to acknowledge properly.

I do think that it is a positive move to support the Iranian protesters, however the US is wrong in altering the image of Iran without the consent of the nation, therefore impeding on the US's highly held "free speech". -Elijah A.

Iran seems to be abrasive toward the conflict, using it as an advantage rather than addressing it humanely.

The US shouldnt have the power to change Iran’s things and they are mad they don’t have control of their own media.

I do not think that the Iranian team should be removed from the tournament because they cannot be held liable for the actions of a larger group, and punitive action against them would surely result in some type of retaliation. -Elijah A.

I think that Iran has the right to have their own opinion, and if that opinion results in being angry at the US then so be it. I doubt that anything will happen from them calling for the dismissal of US from the world cup, since the US has a economic chokehold on cobilization right now and it wouldn't be good for monetization of the event.

I think that the US should have considered this happening before taking action, and how this type of thing would affect their reputation and brand. Obviously I support the protesters as well, I just think that this wasn't the most professional thing to do. Jonah

I think that the US shouldnt have change their flag but I don't disagree with their discussion because all they wanted to do was support the protestors in Iran.

Iran should not be allowed to control what is posted on United States social media sites, since freedom of speech is a right in the US.

Neither team should be removed from the cup, as the teams don't represent the government of the region they belong to.

They have the right to voice their opinion and to support whoever they want, but not in an official platform with a soccer account since in my opinion political conflict shouldn’t be present in the World Cup. It’s just an event for countries to compete in.

Even though I don’t think the US team should’ve done that I don’t think they should have to face consequences. They were just trying to support the protesters. Also I don’t think want the World Cup to have third parties affecting the placing of the countries. Iran’s team shouldn’t face any punishment either because obviously they aren’t in control of what the Iranian government thinks or says.
