Football Australia is set to ban touring teams from making any promotional appearances with other codes after TV star Lucy Zelic slammed soccer authorities over a 'f***ing embarrassing' photo of a Manchester United star holding an Aussie Rules ball.
The move will see members of sides such as United, Leeds, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa - all of which are currently on pre-season tours in Australia - barred from any activity that could benefit the AFL, NRL or other sports down under, according to a report in The Age.
It appears to have been prompted by Zelic's outburst on July 15, when she took to Twitter to voice her outrage over a shot of Red Devils star Marcus Rashford holding a Sherrin footy.
