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.

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.

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. |
