I know what you mean but ultimately these principled stands achieve nothing. No dumb sportsman is going to change a culture that is ancient and entrenched, and quite frankly it's none of his business anyway. And are any of those bands who refused to play Sun City in the 80s bigger or more loved than Queen, who did play Sun City? What about David Bey, who was talked out of fighting Gerrie Coetzee in South Africa for the world title? Greg Page, who could think for himself, stepped in, clobbered Coetzee and forever has the glamour of being a world heavyweight champion. Meanwhile David Bey is just... David Bey. They tried pressure Bruno into not fighting Coetzee in the 80s, but as he explained in one of his books, he couldn't turn down a world title eliminator because of politics.skanksta wrote: ↑08 Aug 2019, 17:46I was pondering this very issue...
You would take the cash - fair enough - and that’s honest if nothing else. I hope I wouldn’t, but I KNOW I would if I was skint. AJ has more money than any man could need already, so maybe he could cfgord to make a stand and use his power for good.., but of course it’s not AJ’s job to police morality. Our UK/US regimes have done plenty worse after all, but it’s not “a daft principle” either.
I don’t know.., It’s a tough one.
I'd take the money and run, personally.
