Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn has apologised after being criticised for his "ill-judged", "offensive" and "inappropriate" explanation of his organisation's response to Pep Guardiola's yellow ribbon. "The Star of David is a Jewish religious symbol of immense importance to Jews worldwide. Holocaust Educational Trust chief executive Karen Pollock said: "I find these comments astounding - and highly offensive. "It shows a huge lack of understanding around the difference between the Star of David - a religious symbol - and the swastika used by the Nazis." "Glenn has contacted the organisation to clarify his comments on the Star of David and the Swastika symbol, and to reiterate his apology to the Jewish community in particular."
