My point was not about Rwanda exactly or specific atrocities but more the fact that a Premiership football team is sponsored by a country that once implemented Genocide on some of its population.Although it is reverse advertising the Paddy Power push at the moment (mainly to get rid of all the OTHER betting sponsors) has some merit if it does actually get far east betting sites removed.I long for the days of honest sponsors likePhotocopiersYoghurt suppliersBeer providers
We should be sponsored by Cadbury. Absolutely massive company worldwide. Get it done Wes/Nassef.

I think what he meant is that a country trying to rebuild itself possibly shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as out-and-out crooks.There’s limited stuff I can say publically, but it’s not out of place in this list (for that reason at least) I’m very sorry to say. eg https://www.channel4.com/news/rwandan-man-warned-about-threat-to-his-lifeIs real/current , I can share more in DMs.
