Its Man Utd not Man U!

To:  Fox Soccer Channel and ESPN Network

After the Munich disaster the name 'Man U' was disgustingly used by Leeds and Liverpool fans to insult Manchester United FC and their fans. Since then the term has become deragatory to our organization and synonymous with insults aimed at us after the tragedy. While rival fans will always be rivals we feel that neutrals including media companies should recognize the history associated with the term. The Munich disaster is not all about Manchester United but it affected several people in the footballing community, families and members of the general public. We feel a term that serves to insult all those people is just not right and it is up to you to help us let everyone know exactly what it means.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
