World Affairs…. in Football Kit

Wednesday, Sep 17. 2008  –  Category: Football

Here are the two 2008-2009 football jerseys for two of the largest teams in the English Premiership. Newcastle United is sponsored by Northern Rock, while Manchester United is sponsored by AIG.

Northern Rock, back in February of 2008, due to heavy losses sustained from the US sub-prime mortgage crisis, was taken over by the British Government.

AIG, just this week, due to heavy losses sustained from the US sub-prime mortgage crisis, was taken over by the U.S. government.

We should have more foreign governments competing in the English Premiership…. maybe eventually we can all just play some footy to decide world affairs instead of having stupid wars?

    Given Man U’s change of sponsor, maybe NU could gain a Crown or something ;-)

    I’d say ditch the ugly AIG logo for the US Treasury seal or Uncle Sam :)

    And EPL can be like world cup from now on, US (Man Utd), England (Newcastle), Russia (Chelsea), U.A.E. (Man City), and so on :)
