Yeah, really disliked Robinho and Abbiati's celebrations.

Carrying a fascist symbol and running around in a Brazilian flag when you have just won the Italian Serie A is well, let's just say beyond stupid. Good thing others were not as dodo-headed as them. At least in the case of Robinho he should have wrapped around both the Italian and Brazilian flag, now that would have been the right gesture. Oh well, all's well that ends in a well.
To each is own I guess, I'm too ecstatic to blame them, truth be told.
Lots of players celebrate with their national flags, I don't really see anything wrong with it, and everyone was going crazy afterwards, Abate chose to take off his pants, Oddo chose to put shaving cream in his hair or whatever the hell that white stuff was, Robinho ran around like crazy, it's his country's flag, where he came from, but he's celebrating the Italian title, as zeddie said, Sheva and Kaka both dd it before and we've seen other players do it as well. Pato also had the Brazilian flag, I think it's a nice shout out to your nation.
As for Abbiati, he got that off the Ultras, I saw them giving it to him during the celebrations. I don't know what it means, but let's not get into the political side of things, to each his own and all that.
Al; I have to say, why are we trying to make a big deal out of nothing? We're CHAMPIONS!! Enjoy it!!!!

Pato also was seen with a Brazilian flag, but I don't see it as much of a big deal at all. Sure an Italian flag included could have only made it better, but I see nothing wrong with a player celebrating with their nation's flag, in fact I think it's normal actually.

Agreed

I agree with Trini. not only is it not a big deal, I personally think it's a nice gesture. going to celebrate on your own with your country's flag when the rest of your teammates are celebrating somewhere else is a bit weird, though.
PS:


Yep, that was the first thing to come to mind when this was brought up. Sheva running with the Ukrainian flag after the CL win in 03 immedietely srung to mind.
