Bum touching soccer player suspended

Apparently, touching another man's butt in Iran is not a good thing. 

Two Iranian soccer players have been suspended from the country's league because of an "immoral" touch that took place following a goal.

Mohammed Nosrati, a defender for Persepolis, squeezed the buttocks of teammate Sheis Rezaei while celebrating a goal. A third, unidentified player may also have had his bum squeezed. Gasp!

Nosrati and Rezaei have both apologized for any offense they may have caused. The men are now prohibited from entering any stadium and may face other punishments. 

Watching the video, one has to wonder what was really going on. The grab looks more like an actual rosebud poking to us.
