At the end of the day though, it's a tiny flag on the back of a football shirt, it's certainly not worth the tantrums some people have had about it. Personally I'm more offended by the price than the flag being the wrong colour!
    You might label it as a tantrum but liken it to raining. You don't put up an umbrella after one spot of rain. This is the one drop insignificant on its own but get enough and you've got a flood.

    That's how it works, the drip drip drip of social engineering hardly noticeable but the overall message is you WILL think this way

    On the flip side, if you'd not been told you needed to be offended by it by certain media, would you have even noticed it was there? and if the answer is no, then why are you even bothered?

    Just to clarify, I think the flag on the shirt is daft, if it's not a red cross on a white background, then it's not an England flag. But that's it, daft, nothing more than that.

    If you follow Nike's logic about reflecting the history of the England team, if they did the German one there would be a swastika on the shirt
