On Dec. 4, we posted about a Guardian report by Chris McGreal (‘Footballers condemn plans to hold U21 European championship in Israel‘) on a petition signed by some European footballers condemning plans to hold the 2013 Under-21 European championship in Israel – citing their opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza.
We noted that two of the footballers cited by McGreal – former Chelsea player Didier Drogba and Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye – flatly denied ever signing the petition.
Today, the Guardian corrected McGreal’s story, and added this:
