Quote: "The conversation at the time was not so much the brands, but the absolute domination of FIFA during the world cup and if there is any benefit to anyone but FIFA and their selected partners."
Bavaria N.V. scored a great goal against the FIFA bullies with this:
World Cup 2010: Police arrest women in Dutch orange dresses - Telegraph
It's a good follow up to the Kulula.com success. While one cannot complain about FIFA or the VANOC Canadian Olympic Games junta controlling supplies sold within their grounds/premises it is impertinent of them to expect to control national symbols, etc. in public places, including sports grounds, throughout a country and to so selfishly impose upon others, such as with unnecessarily large flight ban areas, etc.
"Absolute domination of FIFA?" Has the SA government abdicated its responsibilities and authority to FIFA? It's disgusting to note that FIFA apparently now controls the SA Police Service as the women were arrested for wearing the Dutch national colour. Is this yet more corruption? Have the SA police caught all the muggers, burglars, rapists, car hijackers and murderers that they can afford to divert cops to bullying female football fans? Another black eye/own goal for South Africa!
Peer Swinkels, from Bavaria beer, said people “should have the right to wear what they want”.
“The Dutch people are a little crazy about orange and we wear it on public holidays and events like the World Cup,” he said. "This time we put no branding on the dress. And Fifa don't have a monopoly over orange."
Well done to those such as Bavaria N.V. and Kulula.com who oppose such greedy abuse!
