"This gesture is one which is made by sportsmen and women all over the world, but bizarrely it only seems to cause offence here in Scotland." Boruc is not the first footballer in Scotland to have caused controversy by making the sign of the cross. So what do they have against Christianity?

Ah ha....may I suggest that all the fans begin doing a sign of the cross whenever a particularly important move on the field is about to take place. Will they arrest all the fans?
To: Rodney King
Since when is the sign of the cross and exclusively
Roman Catholic gesture?
From Luther's Small Catechism:
"Daily Prayers
How the head of the family should teach his household to pray morning and evening
Morning Prayer.
1] In the morning, when you rise, you shall bless yourself with the holy cross and say:
In the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen."

This incident = Rangers complaining.
1999 incident = Rangers complaining.
1996 incident = Rangers complaining.
So, are the Rangers simply non-Catholic trouble makers; or are they totally non-Christian?

"Ah ha....may I suggest that all the fans begin doing a sign of the cross whenever a particularly important move on the field is about to take place. Will they arrest all the fans?"I was about to suggest the same thing! Let all believers make the sign of the cross ----again and again!

I know during the World Cup games I saw a few players making the sign of the cross, and also during NBA games, and the Olympics..
That said, I always make the sign of the cross, and say grace before meals whether I'm at home or out to eat. It drives my one boss crazy, but she has finally stopped throwing tantrums when I do it.

..."Incitement to religious hatred normally involves demeaning the signs and symbols of a person's faith ... It's not about hatred, it's about power.
The opposing team finds it has the power to harass the other team and create disruption therefore it will use this power.

this is one of the rare times i cant comment on an article because im at a complete loss of words other then unfreaking believable. I was not going to ping you guys at first cause i thought for sure this was from the onion and the thread was going to get pulled because of the copyright complaint. But it is actually a legitimate news story it really happened.
Libertarian ping.To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message here

Seems to me that the folks registering this complaint are the perpetrators of this crime!

When secularists are less tolerant of Christianity than muslims, what does that show?
That secularism is ITSELF a kind of faith.
And a devouedly intolerant one.

However, if in the middle of the game, some player named Abdul had tossed down a prayer rug and faced mecca...that would be OK.
