Sports Direct apologies for selling Manchester United shirt with a Hillsborough slur
RETAIL giant Sports Direct today apologized after selling a Manchester United shirt containing a vile Hillsborough slur.
The chain, which has five shops on Merseyside, also immediately changed its shirt policy following outrage from football fans.
The move came after Manchester United supporter Colm Jackson bragged on social networking site Facebook about buying the shirt at Sports Directs Arndale Centre store in Manchester.
Sports Direct today said the "spiteful and abusive" wording, which referred to the 96 Liverpool fans that died at the disaster, was "unknowingly" applied by an assistant who did not appreciate its significance. No apologue to the familys of the 96 was made we think they should if you feel the same way please sign our petition.
