You're right, it isn't. But this was used in an event that had the world media as its target. (it appeared alongside David Beckham kicking a ball and Leona Lewis singing a song). The tabloids were always gonna create a shit-storm out of something like that. If i wear a nazi armband at an S&M club, I'm a kinky twat. If I wear one at a Jackie Mason concert, i'm just a prat.
