Deadly threesome?

UPDATE (10.59pm): Obtained an email from a leading figure in the fraternity.

"Good article in your blog on TM Logo on the Malaysian Football Team's playing attire. TM is NOT a SPORT ATTIRE manufacturer like Adidas, Nike, Puma, etc. As such the TM Logo cannot be on any sport teams attire. It is as simple as that. Unfortunately, Malaysia sports attire agents, etc, have no guts to bring up this rule. The problem is not TM or FAM, but S%^&*@*(#$. They have really no sports ethics."

Here’s a typical examination question.

Nike = sells sportswear

Telekom Malaysia (TM) = telecommunication giants

FA of Malaysia (FAM) = national body for football

Note: Fifa does not allow sponsors logos to be on national jerseys during international tournaments. Read here for a better understanding.

Situation A

Q: TM goes into a sponsorship deal with FAM. The deal will see TM’s logo placed on the Nike training kit of the national team.

A: No issues I guess.

Situation B

Q: adidas goes into a sponsorship deal with FAM. The deal will see adidas' logo placed on the national team’s Nike training kit.

A: No way Jose.

Why? Because adidas sells sports wear.

Situation C

But what if TM – who are no longer just communications experts but also sells the Team Malaysia Panthera jersey to the public – goes into a sponsorship deal with FAM and places its logo on a Nike training jersey.

A: I really don't know.

Should the fans buy a Nike jersey? Or a TM Malaysia Panthera jersey?

Or just settle for a Grade A imitation jersey worth RM40?

Note: Pic of training jersey is not the official image authorised by any party.

HD says: That aside, TM should be commended for supporting Malaysian football.

    Situation A is a no issue... Les Blues have Carrefour emblazoned on their training kit... Germany have Mercedes Benz if I'm not mistaken...

Papa win, papa win.

Those were the words of three-year-old Dasha Ong. National coach Ong Kim Swee has not seen his wife Alodle Donna Derick, Dasha and his seven month old baby Dashie for almost a month. And the words of Dasha just hours prior the kick off between Indonesia and Malaysia in the final certainly motivated Kim Swee. In return, Kim Swee motivated the lads and they won. Read more in today's Mailsport. As expected members of the Press - even those not from the Sports Desk - had numerous questions for Kim Swee. Some wanted Kim Swee to share his experience in Jakarta, others were penning down every word of his when he slammed the organisers for their antics which certainly disturbed him and the boys. But the celebrations must come to an end as Kim Swee and the Olympic lads will now face Syria in the Asia zone Olympic qualifiers tonight (8.45pm). And Kim Swee had this to say: "The players are tired but with the support of the fans, if they come in full force, perhaps that will motivate our...

From 'Mr P' to 'Kemelut Dalaman BAM': Four chapters of 'mesej Whatsapp layang'

Image
Surat layang , or rather ' mesej Whatsapp (or some will pronounce as Wasup) layang '. That was what I received this afternoon from a number that is not registered on my phone. The sender identified him/herself as " ahli yg memerhati tingkah laku BAM " (Badminton Association of Malaysia). The four chapters were titled as:  'Siapa dia Tan Sri BAM "Mr P"' Perletakan Jawatan Presiden BAM 'Siapa Tengku Zafrul' Kemelut Dalaman BAM There were many allegations to which the sender justified as not " fitnah " but " hakikat apa yg berlaku ". The four chapters highlights Mr P's "connection kuat ", goes into why Tengku Zafrul was named as the incoming BAM president, and takes issue with the establishment of 'Yayasan Badminton Nasional' and Akademi Badminton Malaysia. The writer (unsure if the sender is also the writer) also wrote that ' majority in the Council dalam BAM semua tak berani buat laporan sebab tak...
