Sevilla's star muslim striker Frederic Kanoute displayed a t-shirt with the word "Palestine" during his side's 2-1 Spanish Cup over Deportivo Coruna in the Spanish Cup. The referee gave him a yellow card for the incident which is prohibited by the Spanish Football Federation. The 31-year-old lifted his jersey to show the t-shirt with the word written in various languages after his side scored late Wednesday in what was seen as an act of support for Palestinians in Gaza where an Israeli military offensive has claimed more than 700 lives since it began on December 27.

ReplyDeleteHey, I just wanted to say that I really like your idea here. I'm a Muslim and it's very inspiring to know how many soccer players believe in my God Ala.
