You're not being petty ...
I think you raise a valid point ...
In my opinion I saw nothing wrong with it ...
The mascots are little children who know nothing of Munich and I would imagine
they don't understand any of it to be honest. In the future their parents may
well educate them of this.
For these children it was the biggest ocassion of their lives ...
They were going to Old Trafford !!!
Home of Manchester United !!!
To be led out in front of the crowd by their heroes !!!
... and they get to wear the kit too just like their heroes do every week !!!
Can you imagine what a great exciting thrill for them this is ?
They have only ever seen the AIG shirts they are so young - so they deserve to
wear what they consider to be "the United kit".
I'm sure the anti Glazer, anti AIG, anti China, anti Prem League, anti FA, anti Gill,
anti....... etc etc brigade will no doubt complain about this ...
But the children were happy and had their best ever experience that will stay
with them forever - it was a nice idea to have the children do this - and if the
children were happy and the memories of Munich were honoured to be quite
honest I'm happy !!
AIG relented their logo on the kit for this game - they are paying £60,000,000
over 4 years for the 'right' to have advertising all over the place - no one can
complain - you can't take £60,000,000 and then start moaning and whinging
about this.
It's all about give and take ...
They give £60,000,000 and we have to take a few things we might consider
inappropriate - eg the mascot's shirts - the small logo on the mural.
5 years from now when we talk about the 50 year anniversary events we will
remember the service, the documentaries on the TV, the sad minutes silence, the
remaining 'Babes' at Old Trafford etc etc ...
No one will care about a little logo on the mural or the children shirts ....
All this anti-AIG stuff needs to be kept in context ...
This week was about the Babes and Munich not AIG ...
