    According to whom? I don't necessarily disagree with you, I just believe that there has to be absolute clarity about what's acceptable and what is not.

    You cannot censor Kanoute (Palestine), or Fowler (500 Mersey Dockers sacked); yet allow Everton players to wear t-shirts highlighting Madeline McCann's case; or let Gerrard wear a t-shirt referencing the Michael Shields case (Free Michael Now).

    Irrespective of the topic and cause, there has to be a consensus on what is allowed and what is not. Either t-shirts with slogans etc are out, or they're in - the subject matter (as long as it's legal in the jurisdiction it's displayed) should be irrelevant.

    Judging each case on it's merit will lead to a fiasco, as everyone has varying opinions on what really matters to them.

    The McCann case is completely different and the subject matter is relevant. She was pictured in an Everton Jersey all over the place so the club or some of it's players offered their support. Nobody could find that offensive unless they support kidnapping (cue Snyper)

    Both Casillas and Rafa Nadal condemned Israel's attacks on Gaza.

    "You will find it impossible to join people and laugh after you see what is happening in the Gaza Strip," 28-year-old Casillas said in an interview with the Fars News Agency.

    "I keep telling myself it is against humanity if you don't help children in the Gaza Strip," Nadal, 23, said.

    In relation to this, I noticed on today's FA Cup highlights, that Kettering Town's shirt sponsor is 'Palestine'.

    Apparently this has been the case since 2007, and the sponsorship is by Interpal, aka the Palestinian Relief and Development Fund, which is a non-political, non-profit making British charity.

    I wonder if the Israeli ambassador to the UK will weigh in with their opinion on this image being beamed into homes around the world?;)
