"United States soccer captain Tyler Adams shut down an Iranian reporter who confronted him on human rights at a press conference ahead of the highly anticipated World Cup match between Team USA and Iran on Tuesday.
While the controversy of Qatar hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup has received most of the headlines, another one has brewed between geo-political rivals Iran and the United States, who find themselves in the same group this tournament.
Iran demanded that the United States should be kicked out of the World Cup after the Twitter account for the United States Men’s National Team posted the standings for group B and left out the Islamic Republic emblem in the Iranian flag.
The US soccer officials removed the emblem in support of protests over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was killed after being arrested by Iran’s morality police for wearing “inappropriate” clothing.
“We wanted to show our support for the women in Iran with our graphic for 24 hours,” the American team said in a statement to Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports."

Tyler is more well spoken and diplomatic than 90% of current politicians.
Agree
Yup, being smart is often a prerequisite to be a proper professional athlete.
And more well spoken than cunk and banana
Don’t forget articulate. …(you know, cause he’s black)
Trained by his white parents or friends.
Ah yes…. Iran… the bastion of understanding and human rights observance. 👏🏼
The definition of... COMPOSED. Thank you sir and God bless you and the team.👏
I'm really impressed with his answer because the reporter was being snide. He could've corrected Adams in a kinder way. He didn't deserve such a thoughtful response.
Yeah me being a bit of a smart ass would have probably said well the one great thing about US is that at least we have the right to protest in the streets when we have grievances without fear of being murdered. Unless you're Heather Hyer and that wasn't done by our government it was done by a nazi POS.
The reporter was beyond being snide. He was a straight up provocateur projecting his anti-American sentiment on 20-something year old kid who just plays soccer.
@@majorlazor5058 the Iranian players are also in their 20's but worried exposed to mind games- harassment. They saw their flag defamed and posts were extremely aggressive. It's their game and country too.
@@fatmefateemy7000
You don’t make any sense. The American player had zero decision in what US soccer federation did. And you have no proof Iranian player care significantly about an American televised graphic. They care more about people their age being round up and murdered by their own government
@@majorlazor5058 the government in the US is no different with the African Americans- as well. You're seeing things thru a narrow scope. This player is not a typical black citizen..just read the papers or watch the news.
Also, if you noticed all the comments given were white people? Don't you find that a bit odd? Okay, he doesn't have anything to do with the gov. but neither do most people their age or not..right?
Not just he apologized to him 1st. He waited till he was done speaking before he said 1 word. That is respect. This is a true ambassador of The US. Wish trump saw this. How it’s done. Not like a spoiled 4th grader
When the US elected tRump we were worried. Nice to see that some Americans are civilised, a model citizen, one you can be proud of. We all need to work for that progress.
@@George-2115 💯
I'm civilized how I am I would have handled that very much different in a rude respectable way and still got my point across I'm not bowing down to nobody and I don't care how you view me I bet you the reporter would have been salty cause he would have gotten triggered by my answer
"the name of our country is pronounced "Eron" not Iran. Let's get that straight once and for all." Very rude way to correct someone. This soccer player handled the reporter's rude behavior with class.
The soccer gentleman handled the correction far better than the reporter. It isn’t as though he was flicking his head obnoxiously sneering “eye REEN” or somesuch. 😀
Tyler Adams! Educating while being open to being educated 🤟
this guy is better at diplomacy than 99% of all current politicians ..
Iran complaining about discrimination in the US is like Ted Bundy complaining about a shoplifter. The poor Iranians are likely getting severely punished as we speak for that loss.
I legitimately worry for the Iranian footballers’ families, and the ballers themselves. They’ll get punished for speaking out against the regime
That journalist is a disgrace, u can imagine someone from Iran questioning Adams with such ego, Adam is a footballer representing his Country, he’s not a politician nor an advocate or whatever. Nice response Adams, one love bro….
It doesn't matter if the person is a football player or a politician, it's fair to ask them if they feel comfortable representing their country in an official event. The problem with the journalist's question is not that he asked a football player, the problem is that his question was stupid. I've seen a lot of very stupid Arab people these days in social media be outraged when German players covered their mouths in a sign of protest for example, as if it was inherently wrong to have principles and to disagree with what someone does just because they have a 'different culture' or they live in a different place. By that logic, Nazism would be totally fine because it's a different culture and it comes fro somewhere else, so people should never criticize it. That's just stupid. Use your brain to judge what is wrong and what is right (for you). There is no such thing as a moral obligation to respect what someone else does just because they do it. If you think it's wrong, it's totally ok to feel so (whether you have a good reason to feel that way is a different thing). Maybe if all of these utter morons had been educated to use their brains to figure out their own values instead of following the commands of sky gods, they wouldn't feel so confused when someone dares to say that some aspects of their culture are problematic.
Quite rich coming from a journalist who is from a country where there’s very apparent discrimination against women, freedom of speech and sexuality.
My response: “I’d feel as okay as a female athlete from Iran would be for representing her country”
People like Tyler Adams make Americans proud to be Americans. We need more of them!
I have followed this team and I started watching Tyler Adams play in MLS when he was just 17. You could tell how on the pitch he was a leader. So proud to see him grow.
"My apologies" that just killed it. No hate, no arrogance but a simply well put answer
Tyler Adams is a brilliant young man, and deservingly was named the captain of USA National Team. He has a bright future ahead of himself for his elegant and intelligent performances both on and off the pitch.
100% unnecessary the begging of that question, a good answer from Adam's, now I understand why he is the US national team captain just with 23 years
Tyler Adams has shown his ability to lead on the field and now off it. Making him captain is probably USMNT’s coach Gregg Berhalter’s best decision ever
that reporter said that as if black folks dont get treated like shit in iran 🤦🏾♂️
they dont cause there is none. and maybe iran was asking that question cause all you do in the usa is bring up about how black are oppressed and whitey need to step aside for blackie to rise
@@MrMuaythai84 they asked him that ques. hoping he would go against his country for them, stop playing dumb. black people are not going to stop speaking up just because its makes you feel uncomfortable so your little racial digs dont mean anything 🤷🏾♂️
@@MrMuaythai84 your comment tells me how racist you are. Maybe you need to educate yourself, Asianee...
@@MrMuaythai84 Not only are you stupid, you also are ignorant. There are many black Iranian people in south region of Iran. STFU!
This is so unnecessary. I feel like these Iranian reporters are retaliating against American journalists grilling Iranian players and US teams social media disrespecting the flag. But these people are athletes, not politicians representing a populous and speaking on behalf of that society.
And that's why he's the captain of the team. Well done.
And this guy is only 22
I would much rather be a black person in America than a woman in Iran.
Or a woman under the American Taliban(MAGATS)
well your neither so I don't think you get to make that distinction.
Really, really stupid comment.
In no parallel universe could I have responded so diplomatically and maturely. Well played.
Tyler is an example of sportsmanship. Yay to him. Congratulations team USA. God bless America
Man.. seeing this.. i mean.. Im Portuguese and i must say, there are definitely racism issues everywhere, i mean everywhere! That's something we must all reflect but in other forums.
now, this reporter.. and that disgusting misleading political question, has simply no place in football.
Then that level of maturity in the response of the young US Captain is off the charts!
Tyler handled himself and the question with grace. The same can not be said for the reporter's attitude when asking it.
The U.S. isn't perfect in the slightest - but Iran has no place to talk about discrimination and human rights with all that goes on in that regime, ESPECIALLY as of recently.
That's rich coming from a guy whos country is killing people in the streets for protesting as he speaks. I could NEVER have handled it as well as this young man 👏👏👏
Our soccer captain should be a politician and our politicians should be in the circus
And should be in jail . All of em
The way Tyler handled this situation was simply fantastic. Pure class.
Damn he made me proud 🤣🤣. That's how some of us " black men" handle that. 😁. We recognize there needs to be changed but we also LOVE these United States!!
This is the kind of guy I want representing my country.
The clip of the Iranian reporter asking the USA coach if he asked the US government to remove a battleship off the coast of Iran was hilarious… like what is the coach supposed to do?!😂😂😂
The Reporter was from "Iran Fox News" same crap different place....
Conservatives around the world are the same but for serving different masters.
An EYERANIAN Tucker Carlsoncalifate
That's why he's a team "captain". Anyone else would've told the reporter to f off
USA 1 Iran 0
Theres your answer
Tyler Adams is as cool as cucumber, I hope he does well in the US-Iran game tomorrow!
Does this reporter have the same attitude, energy and interests in human justice towards the issues facing woman in his own country?
He made that reporter look small.
Yep!!!!!!! ❤
As an American, although I despise racism, it's hard for me not to bite my own tongue when Adams is confronted with a question about human rights from a reporter in a country where women are beaten to death in jail cells for not wearing their headscarves.
No ones being beaten to death for not wearing their hijabs in qatar or any arab country lmao. Where did you get that information from anyway? South Park?
@@swag-yw7ut CNN and Instagram posts (from people outside of the US I might add). Maybe my sources are biased or I'm just wrong, idk
@@augie6479 It doesn't matter. The point is they are treated badly and I think that's what you were getting at. I too couldn't help notice the irony. I think just about anyone else would have responded to this reporter with something like "You've got to be kidding."
@@mikereiss4216 That's exactly it. Thanks, man!
@@swag-yw7ut Search up the name "Mahsa Amini" and what happened to her while in police custody for wearing improper hijab
When the game is played , some1 should ask that journalists about the threats of imprisonment and torture of the Irani players their families if they not sang along with the national anthem.
God bless America congratulations usa team win today
I would also ask this journalist how are you representing your country on the way Iran is treating its women who are fighting for freedom
Maybe that report should focus on the cultural problems in his own country.
Hats off for Tyler Adams for being the bigger man and not letting this salty iranian trigger him.
He talks abt discrimination abt black people when we know Arabs don't like blacks and his country discriminates on women and its 1 in a million other things. I will choose usa over I-ran any day.
We wanted the soccer captain to say that but he couldn’t 😂.
? wtffff are you talking about?
Young man did not bring up how the women in Iran are mistreated....kudos to this young man... brilliant
and iran didnt bring up how you in the usa forced wokeness on to people and your dumb cancel culture crap
@@MrMuaythai84 LOL how does fascism benefit you?
@@MrMuaythai84 iran sucks, cry. 1-0 today L, and 2003 invasion L
That was an offical Iran Govt reporter .. there was an agenda...
US Captain did a great job
99.9% of Iran reporters are government reporters 🤣 there's no free press in that country to speak of its all government press
That was such an eloquent technically perfect answer on the spot from such a young man. Bravo Tyler Adams.
And props to the media relations person who prepped him on how to handle these type of questions
He’s a soccer player ask him a soccer question leave the politics to the politicians
Really?. And the western hypocrite media with their gay pride has been polticizing the Qatar World Cup 2022 long before the World Cup in Qatar even begun. Hypocrite of the uncivilzed western world at its worst.
That reporter tried to be nasty to a young man but it didn't work. Very proud of USA's captain for representing the US on the pitch but mostly for handling himself like a true human.
The irony of someone from Iran asking about oppression.
And U. S. lecturing the world about human rights.
Good Job Tyler ! You are not the first. Sadly, you will not be the last. USA has to do better. The world is watching.
Oh no our poor victimized African Americans...Are they facing another unfortunate injustice? My goodness I'm here showing my support as always, yeah...
@@rickriccardi4741 Nah I think I'll stick around...
I would’ve never answered any of his questions for being an ass, my respects to the gentleman for handling himself with class. Much respect!
How does Iranian women deal with the discriminatory process in Iran against women
thats religion 2
Actually Iranian women get same salary as men unlike us
@@Srmi88 but then get murdered for wanting to be free and they cant even have the jobs they want . stop with the bullsht jv
@@Srmi88 Not talking about salary. And the rest of the way women are treated need not be explained. It is widely known throughout the world.
@@Srmi88 That is a complete untruth. The latest figures show that on average Iranian men earn a whopping 82 percent more than Iranian women. This is one of the worst gender gaps on the entire planet. If you have any independent evidence otherwise I would be happy to look at it.
Iranian reporter should be banned from press conferences
Tyler is a great dude and no doubt has learned about racism issues in European football having played in Germany and England
Well said, young gentleman. Way to represent. Seriously. 💖
How are black people treated in Iran not well I've seen. How are women treated not well they shouldn't be talking.
Brilliant. Class act even when it's obvious the Iranian reporter is trying to pick a fight.
Btw, the coach didn't pick Adams as the captain. The team all voted for him to wear the armband. He is so good. He currently plays for Leeds but I can see Adams getting picked up by a bigger club like Bayern Munich or Manchester United. He reminds me a lot of Ngolo Kante.
United is a small club
Well Done Tyler Adams for your mature and intelligent answer and kind manner. Most Iranian people do not agree with the way this reporter asked questions, and we horribly feel sick and traumatized for how some "politicians" are abusing innocent people these days
The question was meant to poke a finger at the US but the young man’s clam response made it fall flat.
Are you confortable being a mouthpiece reporter for a country that discriminates against all, all their woman.
A reporter from a country that discriminates against women, how can he attack other countries about discrimination 😀😀😀
Different accents pronounce words in a different way that reporter looked small to receive such an intelligent response from a very young men
Tyler Adams is class. Handled the PressTv reporter with ease
The person asking the question should be asking about Iran discrimination against women. Why is the reporter getting mad about pronouncing IRAN that’s petty.
I know a lot of people don't like the question but I think it's quite legitimate. This country is constantly questioning our patriotism but then expects us to defend it on the international stage.
its not about the question itself.....its about the hypocrisy of the guy asking it. a: a guy who clearly "loves" his country; a fascist country.....is asking the guy about oppression and how he can proudly represent said country. well, jackass, i see you love your country, and you ARE representing it as a journalist........do you not have an issue with your fascist government?
its also the stupidity of lecturing him on the pronunciation of iran......which wouldnt have been a big deal if he had done it in such a condescending tone.
Tyler Adams is an intelligent and articulate man!
Wow that was smooth!
Yes……….yes it was! 😁🤙🏽
Tyler was a class act, respectful and gracious. Made that reporter look like an ass.
This young man's response was mature, calm, intelligent and appropriate. The fact that he maintained such emotional control against a questioner who was deliberately trying to bait him, is so admirable. I'll tell you this, he did a much better job with his response that I would have done.
It was a fair question. Americans are very ignorant of the world and constantly pronounce the names of other countries incorrectly.
America does have a problem with its treatment of black people. This channel makes a lot of money by furthering this discussion. Ana has become a millionaire out of it.
@@SamS-uv2ql I mean...sure? But does an obvious stooge of Iran's women killing government have the right to ask that question? Maybe he should look a little closer to home when it comes to bi**try. Also...the name of the country thing...pretty petty, just saying. And Adams did apologize for it.
@@SamS-uv2ql , a fair question would have revolved around the soccer match.
@@RicardoRoams It is very common to ask about related issues before a football match. Happens all the time.
@@SamS-uv2ql , It shouldn't. Maybe the Iranian reporter should ask his own government these questions first.
Tyler is evidence that things are improving in USA. He is the first black Team USA Captain.
The first?! That's your proof of things changing😂😂😂
In German, Germany is pronounced Deutschland. In Mandarin, China is pronounced Xianghua. Neither one tell anglophones to pronounce them their way. When you try to make people of another language or dialect pronounce things correct to your language or dialect, it is inherently racist, ethnocentrist and prejudicial. Your culture is not the only culture and your pronunciation isn’t the only that matters or is acceptable.
Also, his answer was a lot of nothing. I commend him for not falling for the bait but his response was mostly unclear.
I wish I was as leveled as he is when I was his age.
Im Iranian and I don't pronounce it properly when speaking English either lol.
Tyler did not give the reporter the negative reaction he wanted. Good job !!
He took the jab and easily brushed it off. 👏🏼👏🏼
His response was good but, If he went up to the reporter, bitchslapped him and told him "I am a soccer player bitch, not a politician!", I would have accepted that as a good response.
Some of these people need a good bitch slapping to remember where they are.
@@Anonerak2 Sometimes ignorance needs to be met with intelligence and dignity. When you give the person the opposite of what they were expecting , it throws them off their game and their bad intentions.
@@ladyt814 And sometimes ignorance needs to be slapped away with a good old bitchslap.
Try meeting a trumper's ignorance with intelligence, lets see how far that will get you.
@@Anonerak2 It's about Who You will entertain or not. 🤷♀️
The absolute definition of grace under pressure.
The journalist asked the question intentionally to create division.The USA player understood the sense of the question and outsmarted him with his answer not to give any propoganda advantage to the Iranian Islamic regime.
Yep and he also asked it because he wanted a distraction from what happening in Iran
Smartest football player.
the Iranian reporter should try and criticize his country and see what happens
Tyler Adams is the man! Also an incredible player
Tyler Adams, smart and intelligent guy.✓
Good luck 🇺🇸 ⚽ today vs Iran !!!
God ✝️ bless...USMNT 🇺🇸 ⚽
Please please PLEASE cover more stories from Iran and be assured that those so-called journalists are not representing my people, we love the people of the US like other nations, no hate. Iran's revolutionary movement is evolving hour by hour. Every day more young beautiful Iranians are being killed, taken to jail, beaten, and tortured to death. Please cover more stories. Our fight is your fight, indeed. 🤕
Just know we don't hate you , we know you live under an iron fist. And we support freedom for all. Those politicians don't represent the average Iranian anymore than our own politicians represent us.
No worries. We, in America, have some idiots too. That journalist does not represent you. He should be ashamed. Keep strong IRAN!
Brilliant. I am glad that Iran is out of the World Cup.
The US team captain saw this reporter coming.
Amazing response and he’s only 23 years old! He should have asked the reporter about Irans treatment of women in Iran.
Boom! I said the same thing
What about Sunni Muslims being beheaded by the shia government.
That's why Tyler Adam is a captain
That Iranian reporter picked the wrong person to question in the extreme. LOL
There is not a US politician that could have given a better response.
What a lovely well educated American, wish we had more of them .
He should have asked the reporter back the same question: ‘How do you deal with a government who is NOT handling their problems’
as much as your right it wasn't the time or place I don't believe and it would have undermined his response and it shows who took the high road.
Progress. Something you aren’t seeing in Iran.
of course and the art of implicitly insinuate to the reporter without saying it, is in my opinion a great and classy way to respond
I mean are we really about to compare discrimination or even human rights between the US and Iran? Lol
Excuse me? Me as a Iraqi Christian that had family member fighting with Iran .
Actually you can’t compare Iran and USA. No .
USAs actions around the world alone has more crimes against human rights
Over 50 countries Overthrowned/invaded by USA since ww2..
Thanks to US we have1 million dead people in Iraq alone , what you think is the amount of others ?
And US sanctions that has been only hurting the Iranian peoples life for last 60 years ,go complain about that.
USA is the biggest terrorist, look up the definition and you will see us government can relate to that
@@StayBasedJesus 1. Maybe you should use your context clues and understand that I was referring to treatment of our OWN citizens and NOT how we treat people in other countries because the reporter asked the player about treatment of Black Americans in the US.
2. Every powerful nation has invaded other nations at one point in history, that is not just a U.S. thing. Hell, this country was invaded and colonized by Europeans.
3. In my one sentence that hurt your feelings, I never once said that the US is perfect. Tyler Adam’s said it perfectly, we are not perfect but we are a work in progress. There is a reason why people from all over the world risk life and limb to come here. Nobody is taking extreme chances to move to Iran or Iraq. This reporter is a joke.
4. One thing we can agree on is that the US should have NEVER been in the Middle East for this long. The hunt for WMD’s seemed like bullshit to us as well. No disrespect but your part of the world has been unstable for years and its none of our business.
@@StayBasedJesus helllllloooooo Iran is HORIBBBBBLE , as a muslim who i am i prefer USA ,USA USA american dream baby .....WHO IS IRAN
Very intelligent and very kind
Might i suggest having football stars instead of American football stars run for public office? On the Democratic side then, because the lack of head damage will obviously be a handicap in a Republican primary 🤔
Oh, I would’ve LOVED to have gone right back at him. But now the reporter’s team has gone right back home, so… 🤷🏻♂️🇺🇸
