Melbourne Knights vs FFA

Without trying to create a huge thread or anything, I'm curious as to what happened? (Picture this like an "Explain Like I'm 5" thread from Reddit).

I saw the previous thread mentioning that the Knights were gonna take it to court and shit, but I never heard anything about it after that.

I personally thought that they shouldn't have been allowed to wear the sponsor in question as it breached the FFA's ruling over the National Club Identity Policy, and that they had tried pushing the buttons of the FFA on a technicality. In saying that, Broadmeadow Magic were sponsored by Newcastle Macedonia Sports Club, which I also disagreed with.

Guys, before you answer, I cannot stress this enough - This thread isn't about who was right and wrong. If you wanna argue who was right and wrong, the other thread seems to be for that. I'm just trying to just figure out the facts of the issue and how Broadmeadow Magic's sponsorship was deemed different.

Cheers guys! Thanks for (hopefully) sticking to this thread being factual only!

a good interview with simo. and some interesting comments about Australian football, especially the junior and youth set up.
