Post subject: How to keep football for the grass-roots fan

The new World Cup rule: take off your trousers, they're offending our sponsor

Ã‚Â· Fifa bans shorts bearing logo of Budweiser's rival
Ã‚Â· Dutch supporters forced to watch game in pants

"They put our trousers in the bin," said an aggrieved Peer Swinkels, the chairman of Bavaria, Holland's second biggest brewery. "Fans going into the stadium had to dump them in a big container. Fifa said that the supporters could get them back afterwards. But the container was full of rubbish so most people didn't bother. I understand that Fifa wants to protect its sponsors. But this is very strange."

[US translation] Pants = shorts / Trousers = pants [/Translation]

What about the guy that walks in with no "pants" under his "trousers"??? _________________ Admin: Garry J. Smith's Forums and TVA Forums

Depends, if it was me, I guess I'd be accused of advertising Fullers "London Pride".
