url-25 At least once in your life, you've probably heard somebody ironically shouting "Free Tibet!" at a party or something. When it happened, you probably grinned, did a few shots and went about your business, 'cause isn't the world crazy and aren't people hilarious? And yet those two words do actually mean something in another part of the world. Simply put, China have illegal occupation of the territory known as Tibet, and that's not considered a particularly good thing, because China. And back when Football Manager 2005 came out, China declared that its citizens were unhappy that the game recognised Tibet as a free country, and the game was swiftly banned. Football Manager. Banned. A game where you click words and "enjoy" fake sporting competition results. And because the whole China/Tibet situation is yet to resolve itself, the game is still banned there today. Free Football Manager!
