3 Reasons Newcastle United Need To Sort Out The Papiss Cisse Issue NOW

2. You Can't Blame Someone For Their Religious Beliefs

article-2215136-156C71F1000005DC-352_634x365 Many people may be criticizing his religious beliefs, and frankly, that's a bit unfair. I might go so far to say that it's even hypocritical. So what if he was willing to wear a Virgin Money kit but not a Wonga kit? Let's be honest, NUFC's new sponsor is not exactly an institution that is more virtuous than is predecessor. Some might argue that it takes advantage of the poor. And by the way, Christianity is nothing but selective application. Don't kill people? Duh. Don't steal? Yeah, OK. But don't eat bacon, don't eat shellfish, don't mix fabrics in clothing, no getting tattoos, don't get a bowl haircut, don't shave, don't wear gold (the list goes on and on), and the fact that it's OK to stone women who aren't virgins when they get married? Meh, we'll let those things go. So if Cisse has determined that, in his mind, Wonga takes things a little too far and he can't in good conscience support what they do by wearing their logo, then who are we to judge?
