With the world cup just 82days away is'nt it time that fifa took the lead and demanded that no religiouschants or symbolism be tolerated either by crowds or participants in the matches? Football clubs around europe have been fined and ordered to play matches behind doors and rightly so for racist remarks or chanting by home crowds but nothing is said about the incessant "kissing of the rosary", "signing of the cross" and "kneeling to prayer" that is rammed down the the tv audiences throat when players enter and leave the pitch. Do we realy have to see suarez signing the cross when he scores or ronaldo kissing the rosary? There should be no room for racism, politics or religion in any sport.Where in the world do you see sport being played in churches or mosque's? We are banned from having any religious artifacts in work places and are not allowed to have religious acts there either so why do we allow football players to openly use there religion in a place of work. I am not a religious person and object to having to watch it on tv when i turn on to watch a sporting occasion, this is why we have churches and mosque's. You might say that i could always switch off the tv but why should i have to,its a sports arena with a sporting contest not a baptism or marriage, if i wanted to watch that there are many religious channels i could watch. I am told that your religion is a personel thing, please keep it that way, i have no objection to any one practising their religion just do it in an appropriate place, thank you
