what a clown

No issue with this really - seems consistent with his approach whilst playing union so nothing new or unexpected.

Whilst I understand his stance, and respect his rights as an individual, to not wear the branding of the main sponsor of the competition is hardly giving the awareness and profile TWP promised he would. TWP have probably known all along but seem intent on keeping themselves i the headlines.

We will have to wait and see what their talking on the pitch is like.

Because out of the entire team wearing the logo, people are really going to notice that he doesnt have it..

It really is a non issue. Also, they claimed he would raise the profile of rugby league in England, not super leagues main sponsor. Thats a really odd argument to use.

So which is it? Surely keeping themselves in the headlines is raising their profile?

Keeping themselves in the headlines with things that are probably making tne SL chairmen cringe. What if BetFred turn around and pull their sponsorship?

Anyway, the TWP cheerleaders are out, I'll reserve further comment until they actually play a game.

The French clubs don't wear betting company logos either and there isn't a fuss made over that. Plus, after the free publicity that has just been generated I'm sure BetFred are absolutely gutted! Mountain out of a molehill.

Please explain how why this is a problem for the game?

We have a Muslim here who doesn't want to promote a gambling company on the shirt he wears. Why would you see this is a problem

Toronto have no issue with this. Toronto should be applauded for respecting SBW religious beliefs.

The bigots will be out in force though soon enough claiming SBW the Muslim is forcing his beliefs on other people.

If BetFred pull their sponsorship because one player out of 200+ doesn't want to wear the logo on religious grounds I'll find it pretty funny to be honest. I at least wouldn't want them sponsoring the game if that was their attitude. It would be incredibly narrow minded of them.

Good point my friend. As if Betfred would pull sponsorship because one Muslim players refuses to wear a shirt promoting the brand.

People are trying to make this a big problem when it isn't at all.

Good on SBW I say.

Why should he want to promote a company that causes misery for thousands of people.

If only SL had the same moral backbone

We'll find out if it's a problem if/when he takes the field for Toronto. Until then we dont know just how determined he is to stick with his views.
However, unless he wants SL to find a new sponsor, there will be plenty of Betfred mentions and logos all around him.

The most successful clubs here are those with great junior development programs

I'm assuming he'll never be motm either...

And for JEANSteph to say BetFred cause misery is garbage, they do not FORCE anyone to bet.
