So, let's just graciously use l33t for now on

Does this mean that it's ok to have signs degrading other teams and insulting everyone in the arena so long as they're written in cuneiform? Could the Brazillian team have dirty Portugeuse words on their uniforms since 90% of the audience wouldn't know what it meant?

I don't think peoples ignorance of the insult really absolves the people responsible for it.

As is always said in the GP Award speech, being GP is about acting in a way that would make Grandma proud. If Grandma knew l33t speak, I don't think she'd approve.
