I seem to recall Kanoute didn't like it when he was at Sevilla and wanted to put black masking tape over the sponsor. They eventually won him round by agreeing to donate part of the proceeds to a charity of his choice. I seem to remember a Newcastle player refusing to wear a Wonga shirt because money lending is also haramPapiss Cisse I think it was.

As we become understanding of mental health, I suspect that in due course shirt sponsorship by betting companies will go the sames way that alcohol sponsorship did due to the detrimental effect of drink on physical health.
Loads of my Muslim mates gamble and they all reckon they’re going to heaven. That’s until I remind them of all the other shit they’ve done. And our soon to newest signing gave up a day of fasting to score a header in the play off final. Sponsorship is about money. And the best sponsors with the deepest pockets tend to go the more high profile sides. If we do well we’ll get better deals. Might even be a bigger deal from betting company. Simple really.

Alcohol rather than gambling, but the South African cricketer Hashim Amla doesn't have the sponsor's logo on his gear because it's Castle Lager.
