Not noticed

Andreas Panzeri was struck by the unsportsmanlike name "Zigi", secret sponsors and advertisers who use Euro 08 to promote themselves without permission.

Football No, a person in charge of Euro 08 can't be that stupid not to have noticed what is popularly understood by the word "Zigi". Since the organizers of the European Championship must have realized that the name "Zigi" is absolutely unsportsmanlike and therefore unsuitable for a competition in which the sporting youth is allowed to determine the naming for a mascot, it must therefore be assumed: The suspicions are correct that the cigarette industry is a secret sponsor of "Zigi" because it can use it to cleverly dribble out existing advertising bans.
The heroin dealers have also tried this foul play to seduce young people in the past with the name "Fix". Which is why the owners of the Fix & Foxi character rights are now having a plagiarism lawsuit investigated.
But there is also trouble for some advertisers. Reinhold Weber ("provincial manoeuvre"), Frank Baumann ("interchangeable"), Frank Bodin ("forgot the simplest clarifications") have made a name for themselves in the media with harsh criticism of "Zigi" and thus used Euro 08 to advertise themselves without permission - and without being officially recognized sponsors.
