Kanonute, who was born in France but plays for Mali's national team, is a Muslim and shows his support for Palestine with a T-shirt after he scores. In the past Kanoute has chosen not to wear Sevilla's jersey because its sponsor is a gambling/betting company.
Kanouté has been a staunch follower of Islam since he turned 20 and back in 2006/2007 refused to wear a shirt sponsored by gambling website 888.com, because betting is against Islamic principles.
