Well, I try and separate the athlete from his personal beliefs but I can see how that irked some people. I respect Rezadadeh for one thing, he did not sell out when Turkey and the USA wanted him bad. They offered him some nice contracts, I believe Turkey was offering something like $10,000,000 and a water front property/villa. I think the US offered something similar. He decided to remain in Iran and live a humble life. I respect him for that because most athletes would have taken the money. He pointed out that it was a pleasure and an honor to lift for Iran. You got to give Rezazadeh some respect for that. By the way, I think he wore those ya Abolfaz shirts because he named his son Abolfaz. Rezazadeh just happens to be a religious guy but he is not one of those Mullah crooks, at least I do not think he is like that.
