Not that I'm implying he's a massive hypocrite or anything.
Just proves he's an attention seeking twat. Sucks that he's reasonable at footy.
-
What is NIB?(the main sponsor)
-
@Hooroo NIB is a Health INsurer
INvestec operates as a bank as well...Makes you wonder why he chose now to make a stand?
-
People are entitled to change and develop their views and beliefs, and how they practice, express and exercise them. That SBW was wearing jerseys with BNZ on it in the past doesn't mean he's a hypocrite. If he takes their money now is what matters.
Edited to add: And wearing a jersey with BNZ on it during (public) training and other photo opps. raises questions as well.
-
@Stargazer not sure what you mean by taking thier money 'now'?
He would likely have been paid by the NZRU while at Crusaders, and some of that money was generated by BNZ's sponsorship?
-
@taniwharugby Yep, that last sentence is what I meant. He is benefiting from BNZ being a sponsor. As I said in a previous post, I don't know where BNZ's sponsorship money is being spent on, but you can assume that every player benefits from it one way or the other. Whether it's via wages, facilities or otherwise.
-
@Stargazer lower interest on loans
-
Surely he has his own cash in a bank. Unless he hides it all under his madrasa. Boom tish.
I'm sorry, but every circus needs a clown.

@Crucial said in Highlanders vs. Blues:
A lot of assumptions being made that this is a religious based stand. My first thought was that he has a personal sponsorship clash that hasn't finished yet.
Is "personal sponsorship clash" another way of saying "conscientious objection"?
If it's another personal sponsor they'll be fuming. He's just given the competition more advertising than he ever gave them.
-
News tonight says it's in his contract that he has a conscientious objection to pretty much everything that rugby has to do with.
Can't really complain if they allowed it in his contract
What a fucking dick though

It can't be that, you'd never get a team or competition sponsor if snowflakes could opt out with their own sponsors.
Nothing worse than born again types.

Ill-informed comment. There is such a thing as Islamic banking that respects Islamic rules on interest etc.

I believe that was covered above. Organised religion always have sanctioned ways for them to make money off their sheeple.

According to the media, SBW has a special clause in his contract with NZR. If that's true, it's not a matter of people randomly opting out.

That's example of a person randomly opting out. Stupid of NZR to agree to it, stiffs their sponsors.
