Well, not quite spelling it out. That would cover the entire court unless they used a much smaller font.

Those Iranians Are Some Wild And Crazy Guys ......
Iran threatened to boycott the 2012 London Olympics because the word Zion in the logo of 2012 London Olympic Games was a disgracing action and against the Olympic values.

I Believe That You're In Big Trouble ...
Hey AllPurposeGamer? Did you get the express written consent of the International Olympic Committee to post the 2012 London Olympic logo on the Forum?

And during the opening ceremonies when the North Korean team came out to march, the scoreboard displayed the South Korean flag by mistake. YIKES!

But what do you expect from a bunch of people who drink tea instead of coffee?

It was not during the opening ceremonies but during an Olympic qualifying match about a month before the opening ceremony.

Oh, Gosh, that would have been horrible.

This can be translated to,

"Would anyone have noticed?"
