Why was this advert banned?

Drenched in blood-red paint and screaming a war-cry, the image of Wayne Rooney was condemned as 'offensive', 'exploitative' and 'tacky'. Nike campaign provoked fierce condemnation. 'The red paint is not meant to be blood, it's just echoing the body paint which fans cover themselves in and the rest of Wayne's body is painted white. It's the flag of St George. It was banned because of using the color red representing blood and also how Wayne Rooney has this fearful look about him.

What ideologies are represented? Why did Nike select this image?

Nike selected this image so it would make England fans think that it when we go to a big tournament other teams are scared of us and that we are a big threat. They used the colour red so it stands out and it and it shows fear. They also selected this picture so that fans could get the same painting done on their face and try to act like Rooney.
