Well if you were looking for a way to shoot your shot at somebody who lives across the world…
While The US was playing Iran in the World Cup yesterday, the camera spotted an admittedly gorgeous woman in the crowd, reppin’ Iranian colors.
Needless to say, I’m pretty convinced every dude on Twitter fell in love on the spot.
With that being said, one guy in particular was all about it, and decided to act on it himself, and it was Michigan gambling legend Joey Knish.
He took to Twitter to figure out who this woman was, with the sole intention of giving her a green card and bringing her to the States so they could get married and live happily ever after.
If anybody knows this girl and she’s looking for a green card to escape the tyranny of Iran, my DMs are open. pic.twitter.com/kC8y6mpElJ

However, some folks didn’t like the move calling it sexiest, harassment and anti-feminist.
Of course, it’s pretty widely known that life in Iran isn’t great for women.
The country has also acknowledged that more than 300 people have died over the past two months, after protests broke out over the death of 22-year-old lawyer Mahsa Amini. She was killed three days after being arrested in the capital city of Tehran for allegedly violating the Islamic dress code (some of her hair was showing below her hijab).
We’re also talking about the same country that said their players on the World Cup team would be punished (maybe even executed) for protesting the country during the game and refusing to sing the national anthem.
A fan was also shot for allegedly celebrating the United States win over Iran in the World Cup by… honking his horn.

So yeah… and that’s just in the past two months.
However, because it’s Twitter… Knish got flamed like a chestnut over an open fire for the tweet, with a number of people blasting him for “sexual harassing” and her, and overall, making light of the women’s liberation movement.
Just see for yourself:
Why do americans always think they live in heaven and that everybody want to come live there. She was able to pay for a flight to Qatar, why do you think she needs your help? If she want asylum she would probably live in Qatar than us.

Can you not turn a women's revolution into an occasion for you to find a mommy bangmaid from overseas? Exhausting.

Hold on, you saw a random girl on TV, so you went and tracked down her Instagram, to what end? To spam her inbox with harassment?

The Persian women that you are leering at would likely ignore such an obviously sexist hot take. The ones that I know are highly educated, intelligent, and strong feminists who wouldn't give a putz whose only interest is superficial the time of day. Sad.

Lol, Americans are just now realizing how gorgeous the majority of Middle Eastern women are. Another reason why some Americans really annoy me.

I hate people who sexualize random women literally just existing
Also this should count as sexual harassment as it's unwanted sexual comments towards some random person https://t.co/3ZYONAunIU— Elon Musk lobotomizes monkeys (@_heIter_skeIter) November 30, 2022
Another day, another white man sexualizing Iranian women and belittling their struggles and fights for liberty! https://t.co/vmkJlKpd4r

But hey, at least it looks like someone might take him up…
So far I’ve gotten 4 separate DMs from interested people asking if the green card offer is legit.
…..all from men.
Not exactly what I had in mind when I posted that lol.
