| Sky Sport Commericial. Framed by Antonia Scott. |
The second part of the new Sky Sport commercial that has offended the Vatican, the full story of which can be found here, features Italian greats in basketball, football and rugby.
The first sports star in this advertisement is Danilo Gallinari, an Italian basketball player who currently plays for the Denver Nuggets in the NBA in America. In this scene a man yells to Danilo "our baskets are empty". Danilo responds with shooting the basketball into the baskets. This scene represents Jesus when he multiplied the fish and the bread known as the miracle of the feeding of the multitudes.
The second sports star is Andrea Pirlo, is an Italian World Cup champion footballer who plays for Juventus. In this scene the young boy yells out "we want the parable of the belltower". In this advertisement, the scene does not draw on a parable but plays with the concept of a bell curve, a curve in mathematics that is also a way of kicking the ball in football (also known as a curve kick).
The last scene of the advertisement involves Martin Castrogiovanni, one of rugby world cups most recognisable players, due to his barbaric-esque hair style, and Italy's top try scorer in the 2008 Six Nations Rugby Championship. In this scene Castrogiovanni is seen to the miracle of sight to the blind. As he lifts up the spectator he calls out "Ow, I see them. It's a miracle!"
