Since many replica shirts are bought for children do you think that teams should advertise gambling? ?

I decided to buy my 7 year old nephew a Tottenham shirt for Christmas but the new home shirt has the words " casino & poker" on it. I don't think that it is appropriate for young children to be wearing a shirt that mentions gambling. What do you think? By the way, does anyone know what the Chinese symbols on the Tottenham away shirt mean?

Update:

You have to be 18 to gamble legally although I agree that kids can gain access to arcades. That said I see no point in needlessly exposing young people to gambling.

Also, it's ironic that cigarette advertisements aren't allowed but gambling ones are.

By the way I don't mind a punt now & then myself.

    Chill out.

    you can buy kids bingo games in Toys R Us

    I dont think they will be swayed by the advertising at all.

    towns are full of arcades where children can gamble.

    Casinos (gambling in general) are usually seen and mentionned in popular culture (movies, cartoons..) you're not exposing them with a football shirt, specially that in most cases they don't even care what it is.

    The away shirt says MANSION in Mandarin.

    Everton have removed the sponsors names ( Chang ) from the youngsters shirts and they look like cheap fakes from some sweatshop.

    Do they think our kids are going to drink that shite, no, they will stick to Carling.

    I think you are far too easily offended.
