Yeah, things aren't that black and white as you make them out to be. Also, noone knows how he actually voted, may as well just drawn a silly face on that piece of paper making it an invalid vote.

We have numerous similar examples in football: Yugoslavia, USSR etc.
According to you Boban, Prosinecki, Suker, Jarni, Stimac, Katanec etc. were hypocrites since they were playing for Yugoslavia while Croatia and Slovenia were still part of the SFRJ. This statement just isn't fair.

I don't see him as a hypocrite, he never talked bad about Spain, he just talked nice about Catalonia...it's not like he played for something he trashed all the time.

Sound more like you just understand the situation really.

Can relate to it from Scottish/British political situation and plenty of people who would favour independence will represent Britain in sport if that is thr intl body and try to win. Doesnt make anyone a hypocrite.

Even then the situation is not as clear cut as you make out. I would consider myself Scottish before British but didnt vote for independence as dont think it is the best thing for the country.

It is nowhere near as black and white as you are making out.

No one knows what Pique voted for. Previously he's had opinions sounding like anti-independence, but now no one knows.

He's only supporting the referendum and people's right to vote, freedom of expression.

Firstly, You don't know what he voted for. It's possible to be a proud Catalan and not be in favour of independence.
Secondly, he doesn't consider playing for Spain a patriotic act. Just like players like Diego Costa who change nationalities to be able to play football, it isn't an act of patriotism.

Spanish national team cancelled training after 20 minutes. Apparently people were throwing objects, jeering and cursing (aimed at Pique).

If Catalunya were independent as of now. What would be the line up?

I know there is a Catalan team but they dont all always play.

It's good, almost as good as Spains, just taking Busquets from them already drops that team quality massively. The Spain - Catalunya match would be bloody.

Seriously? I thought the Catalan national team was made up of a bunch of less-known players plus our Bob. You can throw in Busquets and Cesc and Pique. Who else?

Don't think they are on the same level as Spain at all.
