Tobias basic on ebay

There's even a statue dedicated to it: Invalid Link Removed

Yes and did you know there is also a reason why that statue was taken down....
I'm just let down that people use this to associate themselves with, im curious on how that came about actually, maybe it was funny to you, I'm sure you don't understand but I'm offended by it.

Bram, I must be missing something here. Was your country really that upset that a fight took place? I am not trying to mean, but I find it hard to believe you are so upset over an avatar of two people in a dust up. What am I missing that has you so upset? I am sure you have seen people throw down before I your part of the world so just help me out here. btw, I do appreaciate you input on the Tobias. Seriously.
 
I like my sports too, but I have no illusion that they're out there for world peace or anything. It's all about the dollar/euro/pound. They get paid a huge sum to kick a ball into a net, hit a ball with a bat, put a ball over a white line. I don't attach any personal feelings to the games. I cheer when they win and that's about it.
 
Not taken down, moved to a museum.

Yes and why couldn't it be where is was planned to be? Co's people where offended by it.. It helps the sports to ****, it sets bad examples to large numbers of people from all ages and it promotes agression in soccer where it does not belong.

These are examples that led to a referee beig kicked to death 2 years ago in a soccer match for kids (16 year olds) league not far from where I live.. .. A grown man kicked to death by teenagers... And this is just one example there are sadly so so much more... Sure we can all ignore don't care and be shallow and be indifferent about it...
I just wanted to let everyone know I do care and I am offended.

Thats why I commented on it, hopefully someone can see my point if not, then not...

I'm sorry I'm highjacking this thread for this discussion, just after Being asked so Many times to explain myself, this is my answer.
