They Must Have Seen Last Action Hero
About six or seven years ago, my friend Jonathan Burnworth and I sat down to watch a preliminary match in the UEFA Champions League. The match was between Manchester United and SK Sturm Graz, which was the top team in the Austria Bundesliga that season. The match was played in Graz, Austria.The name of the stadium popped up on the screen: Arnold Schwarzenegger Stadion
The stadium is actually the home of Graz's other team, Grazer AK. Cousin Ahnohld even has a front row seat set aside for him there if he ever wants to watch his old home town team play.Now, some local political leaders want his name removed from the stadium to protest his refusal to communte the death sentence of "Tookie" Williams. Believe it or not, sports fans in other parts of the world actually care about the politics of the names of their stadiums.
On a marginally related note: I love what is happening with Manchester United...makes me laugh every time I think about it.
Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.
