Sri Lanka Navy suspended four Navy Sports Club players for wearing wrist bands that said "YOO7" to show solidarity with former Navy SC captain Yoshitha Rajapaksa, who has been remanded over allegations of fraud.
Navy Spokesman Akram Alavi said the four players were suspended pending further investigations.

Navy like other forces should be a disciplined team. Imagine next time they wear wrist band marked WW for modawansa.

They were playing for Sri Lanka Navy and not on behalf of anyone else. Discipline is more important!

What kind of rubbish is this?! Are they this scared that they have to punish some innocent boys for standing by a friend?! PATHETIC!

What would have happened six years ago if Army players displyed "SF" in there arms. They would have been court martialled, not merely suspended.

This has nothing to do with rugby. It is a naval disciplinary matter. It may be a violation of a navy dress code! It is entirely a Navy matter. Nothing to do with freedom of expression or human rights.
