I don't mind the US as much as everyone else and so I don't blame them.

Would Nike and Tamoil not already have been aware of the situation with regard to the current law and therefore have taken it into account when negotiating the deals. That said I can't remember whether nike or tamoil came first.

Another point is the contract between Juve and Tamoil. Is it likely that there would have been a clause in the contract in case juve were relegated or not playing champs league that would enble the contract to be renegotiated or rescinded? If there wasn't a clause allowing for this then juve would be entitled to a fairly hefty amount of compensation.

Anyway good riddance to Tamoil the less Juve has to do with terrorists the better. I myself am currently considering a bid for Gadaffis share of Juve. What would 7% of Juve be worth now? Student loan should cover it!:D

I think one of the reasons that there's still a grudge is that Qadhafi denies responsibility. Under the Libyan offer, each victim was to receive $10 million: $4 million to be paid when UN sanctions are lifted; $4 million once US sanctions are lifted; and $2 million when the United States takes Libya off the State Department’s list of state sponsors of terrorism. Despite the compensation offer, Libya’s head of state Colonel Qadhafi refuses to accept personal responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing. The Libyan leader has had a deep of the United States and compared America to Nazi Germany.

There are also the issues of WMD in Libya, as well as state-sponsored terrorism.

It's sad though, that all this extends into the world of sport.
He is insulting nazis with that

aa so barca are paying them? how come? to support them? and y dont barca ned a sponser?
Just some kind of a PR stunt...

Barca traditionally resisted sponsor logo's on their jersies. Barca is "protest football" or "anti-capitalist" football club....or at least historically.
