Well, the swastika is considered a holy symbol among Hindus, Buddhists and some other Eastern cultures. So, you are telling me there wouldn't be an outrage if a player had a swastika under his jersey and showed it to everyone after he scores a goal, the way Kaka shows his faith in Jesus. Its not just the Muslims but all people of all religions who get provoked by such trivial matters.But it's not a swastika is it, it's a red cross on a white background, which as the article states, is the symbol of the city of Milan. There's also the International Red Cross. Are you going to tell me that this organisation and it's symbol is offensive?So what do I think? I think this lawyer is a sh*t-stirring little toerag. End of story.
But we all know they aren't, therefore they won'tIf UEFA are good for anything at all they should make this guy look like a fool.
I think someone stole a history bookThe red cross on the white background is the flag of England. Is this character seriously suggesting that England abandons its national flag to avoid offending Muslims? Will Turkey change the crescent on its flag to avoid offending Christians? I thought not!!

Ah yes but now you're talking:Lofty I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this as nonsense - it could set a precedent that you could benefit from greatly. If this case goes through then surely you could present a case for the anguish and suffering you are subjected to every time you see thisand you have to see it every week - the payout would be enormous!!
Sorry but now you're just being silly. Yes I know about the swastika, also know as a fylflot (picked that little pearl of knowledge up from a Commando magazine when I was a nipper). I think that any Buddhist footballer who chose to display a fylflot as a demonstation of faith - and why would he when it is more of a good luck symbol? - would be guilty of gross insensitivity, don't you?Well, the swastika is considered a holy symbol among Hindus, Buddhists and some other Eastern cultures.
