Turkey bans men; 41,000 women attend soccer matches

In 2011, under new rules approved by Turkey's soccer association, only women and children under 12 were admitted to games involving teams sanctioned for unruly fan behavior. This was in response to an exhibition game where fans stormed the field and attacked journalists. Iran bans women from stadiums in order to protect them from vulgar words and behavior by their men. Iran should compromise by allowing men to continue attending but also including women in to neutralize their bad behavior. Please share our petition. We are half-way to our goal of 100,000 signatures signifying the 100,000 seats in Tehran's Azadi Stadium - none of which may be occupied by Iranian women.
