i respect cisse for not wearing the shirt
now theres a smear campaign against him because whenever you show courage and go against the grain youre vilified
just like Ali was when he refused to fight the white man's war
This Pappis Cisse Fella
only thing
that picture is from jan 2012
A Newcastle footballer who said the team's sponsor clashed with his Muslim beliefs has been criticised for visiting a casino.
Papiss Cisse has been refusing to wear the loan company Wonga-branded strip.
However, it has now emerged that the Senegal striker was spotted at Aspers Casino in the city in November.
His agent said that he was not a gambler, but a Muslim councillor said Cisse would be letting Muslims down just by visiting a casino.
Newcastle United is currently on a pre-season trip to Portugal, but Cisse pulled out, saying he was not prepared to promote the pay-day loans company, citing his religion, and instead offered to wear an unbranded strip.
Both charging interest on loans and gambling are considered unethical by Muslims.
'Wrong message'A spokesperson for Aspers Casino described Cisse as "an occasional visitor" who was "very well behaved and very welcome", but would not confirm whether or not he placed any bets.
Madou Diene, the player's agent, said: "Papiss Cisse is not a gambler."
Newcastle city councillor Dipu Ahad has previously defended Cisse's stance on Wonga.
He said: "I feel absolutely ashamed of what he's done, there's not just me there's been other people who've been supporting him.
"But what he's done now, seeing him in the casino, even if he wasn't gambling, I think this gives a wrong message.
"People will say, 'look, this is Islam they can pick and choose whatever they want', and Islam isn't about picking and choosing."

He isn't going against the grain, he is trying to foce a move
This is nothing like what Ali did
pretty much.
if that is him it just shows the whole t-shirt thing is an act
Did man compare Cisse to Ali
Trust
Man stood up to the United states government, was imprisoned, spoke out about political, racial and social issues
...Cissie stands up to Sports Direct because he wants to leave the club
