I have just seen the news report....the girls seem to have been simply wearing plain orange dresses - with no overt advertising on, and certainly nothing that might be seen in a crowd. Not only were they roughly ejected from the stadium, they were held in jail for the maximum possible time ( 12 hours!! ) before being released. ( After 12 hours, a person has to be charged with an offence or released - obviously no criminal offence was committed, and the police couldn't 'trump one up' either)
O.K.....naughty 'Bavaria', but this is a curt reminder that sport isn't sport any more - "its about the money, stupid !". .......and after that, politics. South Africa seems to be going down the usual road for African countries, epitomised by Zimbabwe, so on the "Bread and Circuses" principle they waste a vast amount of money badly needed elsewhere on showcasing this entirely commercial event !!
