Foxy>> 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.<<

HAPPY….sure they are Foxy. They are probably planning to recruit muslims exclusively so they don’t get any brand recognition for their buck.

csteele,
Well done! Of course now you remind me that I made those comments. You do indeed have a good memory. I relation to the first comment, it was relative to the swimmers that were unfairly victimised over some pictures taken that thousands of tourists get done whilst in the USA.

The views expressed in the second are exactly as I indicated today and have been that way since the gun laws were implemented.

Now back to subject. It does not matter what the logo is, it is part of the official team uniform and all players should abide by that or not play on that team. They can find another team to play with. Like the UK bloke not running on a Sunday, if that does not suit the team he should not be part of it.

From other posts, it seems the sponsor is willing to give the player special benefits. Another example of compromising to suit an alien cultural demand. Not good enough in my opinion. Just the same as turning a blind eye to FGM and forced marriages. No wonder the illegals see us as soft and weak.

Dear SOG,

Your last response to me is not worthy of you.
I expect more from you.
Try again.

Dear Banjo,

It seems to me that athletes who allow their uniforms to become advertising posters are soft and weak in allowing it. I am sure that many athletes have not thought one way or another about the advertisements on their uniforms. They are not used to questioning and doing what they are told. That is great while playing, but ads on the uniform have nothing to do with their play.

Fawad Ahmed and Bruce Murray are willing to protest. Hurray for both of them whether they are kicked off the team or not. I think it reasonable for athletes to wear the club logo on their clothing, but I think it unreasonable to expect them to wear other logos on their clothing.

Football, baseball, hockey and basketball clubs in the US and Canada don't require athletes to wear any club sponsor's logo on their uniform. Why should they do it in Australia?

Fellowette Foxy, I asked csteele to grade me, but thanks for your input, it is appreciated.

Worthy.....give me a break…..The only contributors who have acknowledged the theme of this post are partisan with my thoughts.

All the detractors of the premise have not addressed the theme but tangentially woven another theme into their responses. Spin in other words.

Nah Foxy, my post was appropriately responsive to your deflection of the theme. Anyway that’s the way I see it

I see news today that Sweden has granted blanket asylum to all Syrian refugees who apply.

“All Syrian asylum seekers who apply for asylum in Sweden will get it,” Annie Hoernblad, the spokesperson for Sweden’s migration agency, told AFP.
“The agency made this decision now because it believes the violence in Syria will not end in the near future.”

It has already taken about the same number of Syrian refugees as all the asylum seekers who have arrived in Australia this year. This is a country less than half our size.

All this from a relatively conservative government.

I have memories of an Australia doing the same for Vietnamese refugees. Made one proud to be an Aussie.
