Dec 23rd, 2022 - 03:23 pm - Link - Report abuse +2FIFA and UEFA both take a strict stance when it comes to political statements in football with FIFA repeatedly stating that football should never be used for political messages and that the focus should be on the game itself and nothing else.
FIFA's position on political messages can be found in Law 4 of the Laws of the Game:
“Equipment must not have any political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images.”
“Players must not reveal undergarments that show political, religious, personal slogans, statements or images, or advertising other than the manufacturer's logo.”
“The team of a player whose basic compulsory equipment has political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images will be sanctioned by the competition organiser or by FIFA ... A player/team of a player who reveals undergarments that show political, religious, personal slogans, statements or images, or advertising other than the manufacturer's logo will be sanctioned by the competition organiser or by FIFA”

- I can't see the problem with some Argie dago creating a little sports clothes company..., calleding it “”Malvinas” and using the stylized silohuette of them windblown Isles as his manufacturers logo...
Any imputs....?
I think its a good idea. It might start a trend, little maps of your countries greatest humiliation.

Dec 23rd, 2022 - 07:39 pm - Link - Report abuse +1You're already the nutter on the bus of world politics with your endless pleas of victimhood, but if you really want to demean yourselves further, then by all means find a dodgy stratagem to take it to the world of sport too.
Aside from dragging politics into sport, what purpose would it serve? No Argentine team would get away with it on the international platform, so it would just be yet another tool to indoctrinate and brainwash the semi-literate of Argentina.

Its funny that 300,000 French in French Guiana is ok but 3000 British on the Falklands is a “huge problem”.
