Agreed - the fact that we would partake in any way, and thus even backhandedly show support for such a repressive regime, is simply a sad commentary on our priorities. Why aren't our women players standing up and sharing their thoughts about our men's teams attending this event? I'm not a fan of the Iranian government, but my objection to the FIVB hosting (and US participating) isn't based on a general distaste for the Iranian regime, but on the specific policies that prevent the event from having women participate.

Someone is streaming Allen/Doherty vs Kolinski/Evans match with what appears to be USAV refs. I would assume that this is a Country Qualifier for this event ..or?

Huh interesting. They’re playing the country quota here before they depart for Qatar.

Doherty/Allen aren't signed up for Kish. If it's for Qatar, there should be another match vs. Patterson/Slick, also listed in the CQ.

Hey guys, this is actually for the Qatar tournament, not for the Kish Island one. Casey Patterson posted the country quota match would begin at 9AM PST earlier today on his Instagram story.

I am so weak.... Clearly it is terrible to support an event like this with the sexism and social inequalities..... And sadly, I am trying to find a feed to watch. What is wrong with me?

According to Chris Brown on the Old School Volleyball Facebook group, Billy/Miles beat Casey/Staff to get to the play in match against Doherty/Allen. That partnership could be on the rocks already
