Iran Forfeits rather than Face Israelis in Wheelchairs Posted by Ted Keer on 9/15, 10:22am | ||
Iran's wheelchair basketball team forfeited a game against America over the weekend at the Paralympics in Beijing. Press reports say Iran denied the withdrawal was political, but it seems clear to just about everyone that Iran was trying to avoid the potential of a match against Israel; according to the schedule, the winner of the U.S.-Iran game would have gone on to face the winner of the Canada-Israel game. | ||
