From the post quoted by pt there is no "anti Muslim" argument, just a statement of fact that celtic market shirts devoid of sponsorship in order to be able to sell them to their Muslim fans, if anything that is in support of the Muslim community and most definitely not negative

The post PT quoted says 'usual anti-muslim bashing', I'm presuming that's what he means by 'muslim argument'

Correct. He was implying we were doing the bashing which isn't true.

what a nice person !!! happy to take the money but wont wear the sponsor

I so hope Toronto get relegated

Just wonder what would have happened if it had been a squad player low down in the pecking order at either Cas or Wakey that had refused to display the sponsorship.

No one here knows anything about the content of the conversation. He knew it was the Betfred Super League, I presume, but perhaps expressed to his club that he was a little uncomfortable with it, and his club said, "don't worry about it". A club he has bought shares in, by the way, where there might be a connection with their willingness to accommodate.

I’m bored of this guy already. It’s a season where we have countless quality players coming from over seas and ever second post from any rugby page is about SBW. Super league uploaded 8 photos from the Super League launch and 4 of them were of Williams! They really can’t market anything properly, Naive and mediocre imo

When they conduct on pitch interviews pre and post match they use the Perspex board full of lovely logo's of the sponsors. When Sonny 'I have my principles' Bill Williams gets his turn on the interview merry-go-round will they blank out any that offend his principles. I can't see them not wanting to interview him, after all he his a star or his he 2020's SL Star.

Nobody has any right to criticise SBW. A lot of people go through life with no discernible principles at all, they just live each day as it comes without thinking too much about the wider implications of what they’re doing. Some people have red lines which make sense to them but which may or may not be logical to other people. Just because you don’t agree with them or think they’re illogical doesn’t make them any less valid. Betfred seem to be ok with this so what’s the problem?

Re: Sonny Bill Williams : Sat Jan 25, 2020 2:47 pm  

I would think that Toronto approached SBW and said
“ here’s a wedge of money to play in SL what do you say “ I wouldn’t think Bet Fred was ever mentioned until he’d signed the contract and banked the dosh.
