European soccer fans, help us! (By "us", I mean "me".  )I saw an ad for Stand Up Speak Up, a campaign led by Thierry Henry and other soccer players to eradicate racism in European soccer. Yes, there's Livestrong-style wristbands (in this case, intertwined black and white). Well, as this is for European soccer, I can't get the bands here legitimately. They're selling on eBay for |

| Yeah, I was gonna say, directly from their FAQ: CAN I GET THE BANDS ONLINE? THE BANDS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE AT THE RETAIL STORES LISTED. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ANY BANDS SOLD ONLINE (E.G.

| Well, the FAQ does say the bands are available (for a limited time) in Norway, but when looking at the list for where one can get the bands, Norway is not on it. I'm going to Oslo around the 15th, I could check some of the stores around there to see if I can find the wristband. I know the Oslo-club V (edited by The SomerZ on 03-05-05 10:56 AM) |

Oooh.  I did email Nike, and here's their response:Thank you for your interest in supporting the Stand Up and Speak campaign. As you have experienced this is a European effort so the bands are not available in the US. So who knows. Maybe they will eventually, but as I'm impatient, if they've got 'em there... |

| Aragones getting a $4,000 fine for his comments about Henry was a complete joke. If you're going to fine him, lighten his wallet - don't give him a tap on the hand. Racism is *really* a big problem in Spain this year of all leagues - basically with some teams, if that black player on the field doesn't play for your team they're going to boo him when he touches the ball.  |
