Fans – and PM – tell Nike not to mess with England flag

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says national flags should not be “messed with” after sportswear giants Nike’s controversial decision to use an altered design of the St George’s Cross on England’s soccer shirts left fans angry.

The firm that makes the kit for England’s national soccer teams unveiled its new design this week, which it said paid homage to the country’s 1966 World Cup-winning men’s team.
