Kanoute to wear sponsor free shirt

goldenHuddlestone · 09-07-2006, 10:07 PM

Fredi Kanoute has reached an agreement with Sevilla to wear a sponsorship-free shirt for the foreseeable future. Sevilla recently signed a shirt sponsorship deal with online casino 888.com, but Kanoute covered up the logo with tape during the recent UEFA Super Cup final against Barcelona because gambling is outlawed by the Muslim faith.

The ex-Tottenham striker told the Daily Mirror: "Gambling is the work of Satan. It is forbidden by the Koran and I will not play in a shirt that promotes it. According to the Koran, drinking alcohol, gambling, worshipping idols and lotteries are the Devils tools. That is why I have told the club that I must have a pure shirt. I believe they understand my position and why I have to do this. They have agreed to what I have asked and will let me wear a shirt without this logo."

Wish he had told me that when I was 18, I might have a few more pennies to my name.

it's refreshing to see a club respecting a player's beliefs. Mind you, this could an example of the amount of power players cane yield. My, how times have changed
