This is not necessary. If they get into any trouble, they can just call the moderate Taliban we keep hearing so much about.
“Ex-Afghanistan women’s captain tells footballers to burn kits, delete photos,” Reuters, August 19, 2021:
The former captain of the Afghanistan women’s football team has urged players to delete social media, erase public identities and burn their kits for safety’s sake now the country is again under Taliban rule.
Copenhagen-based Khalida Popal said in a video interview on Wednesday that the militants had killed, raped and stoned women in the past and female footballers were scared of what the future may hold.
Popal, a co-founder of the Afghan women’s football league, said she had always used her voice to encourage young women “to stand strong, to be bold, to be visible” but now had a different message.
“Today I’m calling them and telling them, take down their names, remove their identities, take down their photos for their safety. Even I’m telling them to burn down or get rid of your national team uniform,” she said.
“And that is painful for me, for someone as an activist who stood up and did everything possible to achieve and earn that identity as a women’s national team player.
“To earn that badge on the chest, to have the right to play and represent our country, how much we were proud.”…

All these pathetic Taliban Muslims whose minds have been possessed by the evil ideology of Islam are trapped in their insatiable egos which seek false power in controlling other peoples’ lives since they are incapable of experiencing true power in their own lives. What an utterly fake and superficial religion Islam is!

………………
Sadly, this is good advice. The Taliban is certainly not proud of their national team…

Why delete photos? Just upload it to the cloud, and then delete them, showing the Taliban that there’s nothing there. And retrieve it if ever they become free again
In the meantime, they can get ready for marriage to Taliban militiamen

This reminds me of the film Una Breve Vacanza. The holiday is over and it is back to the same old misery.

I just read that these team members have been rescued:
“When Simantov [the last Jew in Afghanistan–GI] refused to leave, the rescue mission then pivoted toward helping others such as the national women’s soccer team get out of the country.”
