Carlton United Breweries and Cricket Australia are too smart to volunteer as targets for the activism of the politically correct.

Imagine the *bleep* stirring and online petitions of the serially upset if they had done otherwise. Especially in an election year where protest parties are desperate to find grievances for headlines.

Cricketers come and go and very soon too.

Houellebecq>> No national side should be allowed to bear any logo except the Australian coat of arms, or Australian flag<<

Houelly, possibly the most valid comment on this thread to date....but the thread is about a political/religious statement of hypocritical proportions given he will take the cash but not wear the logo.

Foxy>> it appears that Carlton United
Breweries are respectful of Fawad's personal
beliefs .
They respect the fact that the
man's religious beliefs don't allow him to be seen
in promoting alcohol.
Perhaps this issue is a bit of a storm in a teacup?<<

Foxy this is how I addressed a similar assumption that Pericles raised.

>> If we take your incredibly immediate evaluation further, how do you think they would react if all their branding was removed from the series? Not sponsoring I would proffer, and that is the extension of your assertion that the brewery is as pleased as punch at the prospect.<<

Bazz>> Bit by bit by bit.
This just what Geert Wilder warned about.<<

Bazz the thread has a different theme….but if the shoe fits wear it….insightful comment….thanks.

Carlton United Breweries and Cricket Australia
are indeed quite savvy. They recognise a winning
sportsman when they see one, who's worthy of
promotion and getting excellent results for them.
A win/win situation all round

csteele>>Come on mate (Banjo). I tend to slot you in a notch or two above the first two posters here but you continue to speak rubbish. Cogent arguments please.<<

Me next csteele please....rate me next....I wanna go...who am I better or worse than? hahahahahaha

Dear SOG,

Actually I do feel that both CUB and Cricket Australia
are "pleased as punch," by the situation. Think of the
money that will be made, and the prestige, for their
brand if this guy keeps winning for them? The brand
name will be advertised by the rest of the team,
and they'd rather win than get rid of a top player.
Look at it from their point of view. If they were losing
on this deal - they wouldn't agree to it. But they have.
And that speaks volumes.

Well it certainly spiked the guns of the serially upset. Imagine what the Greens Protest Party would have made of it in an election year. A: headlines. Tough luck, Greens and 'Progressives', the administrators must have seen you coming.

Cripes, what if it had gone the other way with OLO's Lexi about? Her first ball would be a wide, labeling Australians as 'racists' and 'xenophobes'. It wouldn't get any better from there. Lexi would be so beside herself with self-righteous anger on behalf of Islam it would seem as though there were two of her.

Speaking of which, just how many Lexis are posting? Or is it a game of 'Find the Lexis?
