Real Madrid and FC Barcelona: first comes the money, principles? Getting rid of the identity not to offend muslims

Real Madrid, an iconic club with relevance worldwide has as we say in Spain put his trousers down (bajado sus pantalones) in order to please an arab bank the Abu Dhabi National Bank ADNB

Real Madrid wears a shield with a cross on top, the cross of the Spanish Crown. This cross is missing in the cobranded credit card that the arab bank is launching for its clients. 

It is like in order not to offend the delicate muslims feelings us prim western must resign of our symbols. What goes next? The Union Jack deleting all crosses and turning into ....a bunch of red, blue and white spots so that the St Andrew´s, St. George and St. Patrick crosses vanish??

Should we accept this? Should the embassy of Norway or Switzerlad hide their flags in muslim countries for the "shame" of bearing a cross?  FC Barcelona is not lagging behind and it commercializes its merchandising in muslim countries without the cross of San Jorge (San Jordi)

"We are happy to please you master...card"

Being a global club does not mean to have to adapt and give up your identity. Plues why should anyone be ashamed of a cross? Why should anyone feel uncomfortable with a shield that bears a cross? Shouldn´t this delicate and easily offendable people start thinking that perhaps some of their muslim traditions, as they call them, are not universally accepted?  

FC Barcelona also markets its t-shirts without the San Jorge Cross in muslim countries

Reciprocity is something that muslims do not understand, or d not want to understand, there are no churches in Saudi Arabia, there are no rights for christians in Pakistan, non muslims are hunted down in Egypt and Nigeria among other countries and still we must hide our crosses so that this prude fellows do not get hurted in their feelings.well I am happy to say that I do not agree and that I am proud not to be one of them, and when I say them I mean Real Madrid and FC Barcelona executives 

with their wallets full and their  jaws disjointed and their knees calloused for their profitable exercise of...marketing? Bullshit!   

What goes next Real Madrid?
