    Default Footballer with Ethics!

    I was encouraged to read about a professional footballer in the UK who has voiced his concerns about his club sponsor.

    The sponsor is a loan shark company called wonga who issue short term loans but if you are unable to pay it off you could be paying astronomical interest.

    Many on this forum are aware of the damage of the debt that has been placed on the people and governments just so that they can survive.

    All the major religions and spiritual traditions speak of the horrendous results that come from usury and indeed we are seeing these coming to fruition throughout the world, do we never learn.



    Anyway respect to Papiss Cisse for making a stand, even if nothing comes from it at least he has publicized the issue.

    Quote Papiss Cisse is set to discuss his concerns about wearing the Newcastle shirt sponsored by a loans firm when he returns from duty with Senegal.
    It is understood the 28-year-old striker wants to remain at the club, but is worried his Muslim beliefs would be compromised if he were seen to promote the company.
