Drogba, Eboue Face Sanctions For Paying Homage To Nelson Mandela

I know many of you would be perplexed when they see this. Now, here is what went down.

The Turkish Football Federation has summoned Ivorian internationals
Didier Drogba and Emmanuel Eboue for paying homage to Nelson
Mandela after a league game, news reports said on Sunday.

Drogba, who plays for Turkish giants Galatasaray, removed his club shirt after a match on Friday against SB Elazigspor to reveal a T-shirt that
read "Thank You Madiba".
His teammate Eboue also honoured the South African anti-apartheid
hero, who died aged 95 on Thursday, with a T-shirt that said "Rest in Peace Nelson Mandela".

The federation said the two players faced disciplinary action for breaching a ban on wearing political slogans and messages on T-shirts.
