Depends whether the player is desperate I guess. If a player gets into bed with the wrong people it will always come back and bite him in the arse
When you actually feel anger over a place like this it's time to get a life

NO MATTER where it comes from? Then no. If it's from the Nazi Party I'd think twice.

its a difficult one for players, on the one hand they want to keep their integrity intact and on the other they need the money, as MH says getting it wrong and being associated with the wrong sponsor can do you more damage than good, in that case you had better make sure that the initial money is worth it because it could be a while before another comes a knocking

I'm intrigued as to what could be 'the wrong sponsor'. BNP? KKK? The Mafia? TSoD?

that sounds about the norm for business sponsorship, I have heard of a lot more but as a player you'd be a fool to undersell yourself for say the price of a cup of coffee :lol:

if you haven't been on for ages how do you know I have not already naughty stepped you?

Back on topic

Another problem is that once someone knows you have been sponsored for bladders it devalues your brand, I mean why give a fella a couple of grand when he will wear yer badge for the price of a pie and chips
